I Need the software that goes with the LG GCE-8483B cd-rw burner that's in a dell 2400 desktop computer

try this site

HL DT ST CD DVD BLU RAY Burners Drivers Download HITACHI LG DATA STORAGE...

hopefully this will help

What software are you using to burn with? Have you tried other CD's? What are you trying to burn? Is the file/files copyright protected? Will the DCD/CD rom play media? Have you upgraded your OS?

you might have to physically unplug the leads for this cd/dvd then plug them back this should activate the found new hardware wizard or
you might have to uninstall then restart your computer then reinstall your DVD/CD then reinstall the driver for this device
if your computer came with a motherboard disk the drivers could be on it
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll down cd dvdrom drives if you see a yellow question or exclamation mark?! or a red x right click you will need to update the driver or
select properties general troubleshoot, select driver click to reinstall drivers click update driver
hope this helps

The new firmware offers enhanced recording speed of some CD-R media on your LG GCE-8520B CD-R/CD-RW

Yes it should be able to read any CD including music if you have software to play back music with. There is something wrong with the reading head on your CD player.

I hope this helps you out and if it does please leave me some feedback.

No, you cannot natively use this drive with a laptop.
You'll need to pick up an IDE to use adapter.
They are available at your local computer store for most likely around $15-20 USD.

Control panel,administrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll to cd/dvd rom drives right click properties then properties again then tick enable cd digital cd audio for this cd rom device or scroll to dvd regions select the no _ for your specific area

i hope this helps -- please rate my service

can u be more specific, as there is no need for any driver to install CD drives

You need to go to the control panel then to add remove programs and uninstall any programs that have anything to do with said drive then use the cd that came with the drive and reinstall everything that should fix the problem.
