..........it just says dvd rom compact disc
Is it usb or internal it has to have a brand somewhere open the driveit just says dvd rom compact disc
internal no brand it came out of another comp, i don't know much about computers so i pulled it out and pluged the plugs from the other into this one, thanks for not flaming or being jerksIs it usb or internal it has to have a brand somewhere open the drive
Yeah thats right well spotted did you try to see will it play dvdsUmm... If it just says dvd rom, it won't burn cd's... It would say burner or writer on it somewhere...
it says rewritable under compact disc, i've used it as a burner on my other comp but that comp crashed, and i've moved so i don't have the cd that came with it.Umm... If it just says dvd rom, it won't burn cd's... It would say burner or writer on it somewhere...
i've never used google like that befor thanks for the help ill give it a shotGoogle or ask.com or something like that i'm sure you not the only one who this happened to type into google" my new internal cd burner won't work" and see what comes up you would be amazed at how specific some questions are and the answer is there just type
another good idea thanks for the help if i knew how to +rep i would for you 2 thank you guysThere should be a model or serial number on the case of the drive. You can try to google one of those.
verry helpfull, however i suck so the cd rom works i can rip cd's to the comp but can't burn with windows media player, it says to connect a burner and restart, the dvd player is showing the dvd but says it needs a decoder. i tried to use the command prompt but with no success. i did take the burner out and found the model # cb523c. i tried to download some drivers but i'm not verry good at finding them and dont want to get a virus if anyone has a safe site it would be helpfull thankyouTry and clear any unused drivers or old CD ROM drivers from your windows install
Run cmd (opens the command prompt)
Enter set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
This will allow the next setting which will make it possible for you to see them...
Open Device Manager
Click the View menu, select Show hidden devices (must be done each time you open the device manager)
Devices not present will have a lightened greyed (or washed out) icon
Right click the greyed out item and select uninstall to remove the device's drivers
i can;t see why it wouldn;t work with the default windows drivers.. I don;t think I've had to install a CD or DVD driver for the last few years
thanks again for the help but i want to burn audio cd's it is a burner i've been using it as a burner for 3 years and the only reason i'm moving it is because my hard drive fried on my other comp, the problem is the media player won't recognize the burner it says to attach and restartdis: Black BenQ Combo CD ReWriter/DVD CB523C, 16X DVD-ROM, 32X CD-RW, 52X CD-ROM, Dual Cooling System. OEM
You see the part I underlined? That tells what the drive will do. 16x dvd-rom, it reads (not writes) DVD's at 16x (speed), 32x cd-rw it will re-write a CD at 32x, 52x CD-rom it will read a CD at 52x. That drive will not write a DVD. It will write a CD though. You can RIP to your computer with any kind of drive. Hope that answers it.
i think 11but it's the same version i used on my other compWhat version of media player?
