No driver is required for this device when used in Windows XP. The XP OS provides native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk and to burn a cd-r disk.

If your drive is external then it must have a USB, SCSI, or Parallel port interface, ie: how the drive connects to the pc.

Clarify the drive interface and tell me if the drive is listed in My Computer and Device Manager.


News flash: the Teac cd-w28e is not an external drive.... it's an internal slim-line model (for laptops) having an IDE/ATAPI interface.... and it still does not require a driver.
