    External DVD burner not being detected.

    I bought a LightScribe External DVD+RW/+R

    And on the cd there was not a driver only software to help with burning such as nero.

    I went to the site http://samsung-odd.com/ but no driver could be found.


    Im not sure what else info is needed cause im new to the external dvd burning thing but help is greatly appreciated

    Are you running XP?

    If so no drivers should be required.

    Is it seen in Disk Management or the Device Manager?

    Right click My Computer then click Manage then Disk Management and or Device Manager.

    Try shutting down and installing all connections with the system Off then re-boot.

    Any change?
