You don't get or need drivers for cdroms. Windows doesn't use or need them.
Is the cdrom set up and recognised in the bios and are the jumpers set correctly.

yep it must be the software then thanks mate

get a hold of nero or easy cd creator, that will get ur cd writer recognised, and allow you to write cd`s.

as Insomniac says, your cd roms dont need drivers, as windows recognises automaticaly.

its the software side of things that you need to sort out.

ie , cd writing software.
