Easiest way to find it for any dvd cd rom drive:

open the device manager
(F1 type "device manager" there will be a link to open that up)

find your CD drive in the tree and open properies.

it will tell you who manufactured the drive and what model number the drive claims to be (might be differant than the sticker)

google the manfacture and they are required to keep archives of all the devices they make.

if your using a more modern version of windows you can tell windows to use a differant driver from the properties page of the device. usually an atapi drive will work with a generic atapi driver from microsoft.

Hi having problems with my partners Fujitsu Siemens ScaleOP Desktop Computer. She recently reformatted the PC with a Genuine copy of Windows XP which installed perfectly without any hitches but when...

Can the drive read other disks? I'm guessing no. If no, it would appear as if the drivers for the CD rom are not loaded. If this is the case, you will need an internet connection to download the drivers for the cd rom so it will work. Other than that,you can try to install generic cd rom drivers through windows, that may work. Good luck.

I am on vacation and don't have the drivers/with me and don't know how long its been since the drive last worked. So restoring may not work either. Any place to download the drivers??? Fixya...

Need to buy a software that automatically search the internet for all drivers that your computer needs, including dvd or cd rom drivers. Such software can download drivers that you need, if it's better than going to your dvd rom's manufacturers website to download your driver there. Driver magician is but just one software among many like it. Driver solution is also good. Try it. Hope this would lessen your problems with drivers. Have a nice day friend.

All you have to do is to Click the all detected driver that driver magician has detected from your motherboard, it will automatically search the internet and download the driver that you have selected. Press save, then install. There you have it. Have a nice day.

How to reformat a computer?

You can download the drivers from the Manufacturer Web Site. You do not mention what brand printer and which Operating System you have ie: Windows7, XP , Home Edition…

Go to the Manufacturer Web Site ie: Epson.com or hp.com etc, and choose your OS and download and install the drivers and software, then restart your computer.

The website will have the software "drivers" for you to download that your printer model's installation CD-ROM originally came with. This is necessary for your computer to recognize what kind of printer you're plugging in to it.

The printer's installation CD-ROM had the exact same drivers that you will be downloading so it will be like if you’re getting the installation CD-ROM again but only via the internet instead of having an actual CD-ROM so don't worry about it.

Some generations of people are terrified of using the internet for no other reason then FEAR of the unknown and that is not my problem. Just be brave.

If you find this information helpful, pls rate me.
Thanks and Good luck. .

HOW TO INSTALL SOUND CARD DRIVERS WITH CD ROM

Hi,
Providing the CD Rom, is the same software as the sound-card.
If the sound card, is a seperate ( Add-On ) the drivers cd should accompany the card. if there are no drivers with the card. you can usually visit the manufacturers website ( Support centre ) And download the Drivers.
Additionally, you may have to disable the on-board sound-card ( Via The Bios ) and instruct the computer to start up, with the required or installed card.
If you are running an operating system, such as Windows XP, it should automatically detect and install the best drivers for the device. although you may not get full functionability.
If you install from CD Rom, ensure the card is installed first, then insert the CD, and open to find the Icon ( setup.exe Or Similar )
