Mad Dog External DVD Writer
I don't know if I can be of any help here, but I purchased my Mad Dog
Multimedia MEGASTOR DVD+/-RW burner a few years ago for my PoweSpec
with XP Home Edition. I recently bought a new computer installed with
Windows Vista Home Premium (which yes, I actually do love) and my external Mad Dog works perfectly, I didn't even
have to update any drivers, it recognizes the drive everytime I plug it
in (via USB). I don't need it anymore, but it's actually a better burner than the one that came with my system, which I bought new in March, although it's now discontinued. Do you have the disk for it? If so, have you tried
running the disk again? What OS and processor do you have? In the
event that it might be a matter of obtaining the proper driver for it
to work for you, I also am a member of a great and extremely reliable site for
free driver downloads. Free membership is limited to a few downloads
within a certain period of time,and then you have to wait 24 hours, but other than that there is no limit so that's what I do. Just for the
record, there was a period where my old XP was out of commission and I
had to resort to my very old HP Pavillion that was about 10 years old,
came with Windows 98SE(when that OS was brand new) and all I needed to
do to make Win98 recognize the drive was download a driver and it
worked just fine. LOL, that has a processor that runs at 600 megahertz, so you can imagine if my Mad Dog worked on systems like that, XP Home and now Vista Home Premium without a hitch, I was quite impressed with their products.
