ooookay… first of all, I have put the Toshiba SD-R1002 model in my puter (it was free and I don’t yet have a CD-RW). Its a CD-RW/DVD-ROM. I can’t find the driver to download anywhere on the net… I believe it is Atapi.exe. So if I could get some help with that I would be very happy.
Secondly, after installing thedriver, where can I find some software that will utilize the RW capabilities?
Thanks for you help. Peace.
Umm… there isn’t a “driver” for this, The “RW” capabilities can only be utilized by programs that have disk burning capabilities built in. Win XP has this built into the OS applets. For 95/98/ME Roxio and Nero are two programs (among others) that can use the CDRW capabilities to burn CDRs. Burning programs that can usually auto-recognize CDRW drives and this capability can usually be updated if necessary.
Alrighty then… I have Win 2000 professional. What do I need to do?
Thank you.
You are a gentlemen and a scholar
According to Toshiba’s website, under Win 2k you need only install the drive hardware, and Windows will recognize it automatically upon boot-up. No drivers need to be installed. As astro said, Nero 5.5 will work for burning just fine.
