You shouldn't need any drivers. If you go into your bios, check that the IDE channel is set to AUTO so it recognises the drive.

bought one of these drives and put it in my pc n it detects it n works...apart from it wont burn, nero wont detect it as a burner, just a cd rom?! why wont it woorrrrk!¬!

Hobo_Jojo

forgot to add its an NEC ND-1300a

Was your copy of nero supplied with another CDRW burner? If so it will only work with that model of burner.

IanW

What version of Nero is it as well?

IanW

What you could try is ehe trial version of Nero 6 avaliable from the link below :-

http://www.ahead.de/en/nero-prog.php

This will only burn at single speed IIRC, but it is better than nothing, and if it works fine, then you can either look for alternatives, or purchase a copy of Nero 6.

I would un-install the old version of Nero also.

ive tried 2 diferent versions now :\ i dont think i have the dvd burner drivers? know where i can get them?

Hobo

Was there a drive this replaced or did it go on an unused ide.

Si

Hobo_Jojo

it replaced my cd-rw.

do i need to put some drivers on my pc for it? as i dont actually have any cuz it was a bare drive.

Chris_

Do as Ian says above, although, the drive you have just bought will not necessarily work if Nero are not supporting it.

Check on Nero website or I think the list is contained with your installed software.

Hobo_Jojo

s'allreet got it working now! yay!can finally back up all my artwork to one disc instead of a library of em!

Mr.Cookie

What was it Hobo

Daz that was my thought

Hobo_Jojo

i removed nero again n removed all instances from my registry then installed nero 6 which works lovely

then i installed dvd x copy and it ****ed it all up! pc wouldnt detect dvd drive in windows at all! so took that back off n it allworks fine again

so if u get a nec 1300 dont use dvd x copy as its drivers conflict or something.
