The GCC-5241P should get any available drivers from Windows Update's Plug and Play option, if you have Windows Update set to retrieve device drivers. The only drivers supplied with the external drive were for Window 98 SE.

Looking at the online pictures of the GCC-5241P, the drive used a serial to USB adapter. If you have connected the drive to your computer, go to the Device Manager. (Right click on the Start button and look for the appropriate line or left click and type the phrase). Look in the appropriate sections (Ports, Human Interface Devices and Universal Serial Bus) for a driver with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle. Double click on this item and check the various tabs to get the details that Windows used to identify the device. This might be a Prolific USB to UART/Serial/Printer device. If so, you need to know which chip and the version. A common Prolific serial to USB is the PL2303. The drivers for this are available here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225&pcid=41 . Depending on the version, this driver may not work. If you have a different device, try Google to find any specific drivers.

I hope this helps.

(I have several devices around that used the Prolific chipset. Unfortunately the oldest one, which was Windows 2000 and XP compatible at release, is not supported under Windows 10. Some other units still work.)

SOURCE: USB external hard drive driver

If you go into Computer Management and go to Storage > Disk Management. You'll see the partition there. Right click on it and assign it a drive letter. You will be able to access it from there.

SOURCE: my LG CD-RW/DVD drive Model:GCC-H23N cannot read

Make sure (ide) if the jumpers are set correctly ie master - slave - cable select
Some time you need the BIOS to detect the drive and it's position like secondary drive O set for AUTO
Then if that is good, go to LG's site and look for the latest Firmware for your model under support-download and drivers
And finally is it compatible with Vista..or what Operating System you are using.
And finally get a laser lens cleaner and clean the player's lens. It looks like a cd with an eyelashes glue on it. kennsington makes them and several other companies.
Barring all that a combo drive like your can be replace for $15-$20 pending where you shop.
I do like the LG brand...don't like Lite-On but hey that is just me.
hope this helps...please leave a rating. thanks

Put a new hard drive in my computer and do not have the directions to connect the keyboard to it. Can you please help me? Also have a remote mouse that goes into the computer.

the hard drive is the storage unit for the operating system , files and folders
when you install a new hard drive then format it , then install an operating system
best is now win 10 as win xp and win 7 are no longer supported by Microsoft and have dropped most drivers out of the system
to get the keyboard and any other pnp ( plug and play) units , you will have to go to the manufacturers web site for the key board , mouse , external hard drive etc, find a download for your model that is compatible with the operating system you are using and down load it

I have a Samsung external 3.5 floppy drive, a SFD 321u which has worked fine in my old Win XP computer. I have a new system with Win 7 and this drive will not work with the drivers on the CD and Win 7...

If it is a USB external drive it should be recognized by your laptop, it worked for my dell floppy drive from xp to win 7 64bit, if it does not you should download the winxp driver and use it to install in win 7 when it does not recognizes the drive.

-select have drivers
-select downloaded drivers

it would give you an error of pop up saying drivers are not "signed" just go ahead a accept that and it should work.

Let me know if it helps

I need driver for cd rewriter/DVD-ROM Drive LG model:GCC-H23N.

Unless you are running a very old version of windows, your CD-ROM should be automatically detected and drive installed upon startup. Check your BIOS settings and make sure there are no conflicts there.

Windows 2000 won't recognise my current HD driver

you cannot up grade from win 98 to win 2000
There is too big a gap in technology to allow it to happen
you have to remove the win 98 operating system and install the win 2000 operating system
That basically means re-formatting the hard drive so save all files and folders to an external storage facility
once you install win 2000 the driver will be installed automatically
