Optical drives NEVER require a driver when used in any Windows os from 95 up.
Please state what the problem is and include some details.

yehah man i need this exact driver too....like my computer wont even reconginze the drive itself

That problem is not caused by the lack of a driver. If your problem is non-detection, please read post #24 in this thread: http://forums.driverguide.com/showthread.php?t=21669&page=4

It contains instructions on the delete the upper and lower filters fix

Also, there is a STICKY posted in this forum that contains a file from Microsoft and instructions that will do this registry edit automatically instead of having to do it manually.


And here's another method that will do this automatically for you if you're afraid to edit the registry manually.
