Trying to install a Sony CRX300a DVD

Hello friend
You don't need Sony drivers if you are using Windows !!!!!
Go here to Sony for your your cd player. http://sony.storagesupport.com/product/180
Click on the 'Dos Drivers' and read the words from there ....'NOTE: Windows operating systems have built in drivers to support your Sony CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM drive as a CD-ROM reader. No additional drivers are normally required once Windows is installed and running. However, you will need additional software to make use of CD Writing and DVD Video playback if your drive supports these functions.'

I suggest you re-install Windows XP from installation disks. after backing up your personal files which you will lose.

You mentioned 'driver booster' Yes ONLY ONLY ONLY EVER download drivers from , the Manufacturers site . Sony in this case,

There are lots of rubbish sites offering drivers this and drivers that. THEY ARE ALL RUBBISH !!!!!!! DON'T EVER EVER USE THEM
I cannot stress it enough tell your friends, tell everybody.

As I say , connect up your cd player and then re-install windows xp or whatever Windows version you have. Windows will automatically install its OWN drivers for your player.

Better still friend... buy a more up-to -date dvd r/w combi.player They are really cheap these days.

My friend, your cd nor dvd rom are not working properly try to use an external dvd connected to the computers usb port, then re-install your your sofware. If it still does'nt work, replace the dvd or cd disk then re-install it again. Have a nice day friend.

its not a driver try disabling it in device manager and re enalbe

goto samsung website you should be able to find the driver you need and dwn load it. If you don't have internet access right there you can download it from another computer with web access onto a flash drive and put it on your computer.

If you have the sony CD RW DVD ROM then you can't burn the data in a blank DVD.

Because your Configuration is :
Read : CD / DVD
Write : CD

This means you have a combo drive. But to burn a DVD you should have DVD RW.

sounds like the DVD drive is in need of some repair there if its making some odd sounds and miss reading CDs and DVDs also make sure connections are good behind the drive

It can be easier to copy the DVD to your computer.
You can get the Daniusoft DVD Video Converter pack to copy the dvd to computer within 3 steps and it can edit all dvd video music to standard video files for popular playbacks, because it's all in one converter pack, and now, it's special offer for chrismtas with 53% off.

What software and procedure are you using to burn the DVD?
