If its an IDE drive, then you shouldn't need drivers. you just plug it straight in and it will work.

If its USB, then windows should already have the drivers for it. If not, then you can probably get the drivers from samsungs website.
 
well im currently using windows xp home edition, well i plugged in the dvd burner i made it all correct, the pc seems to have contact but each time it tries to install it, it says ''the hardware was not successfully installed, errors might corrupt'' what can i do ?? it doesnt even success installing it.. very weird.

Maybe you need a installer program from Samsungs site?
 
I looked around samsungs site but I couldn't find anything, would anybody help me find something for ''Samsung WriteMaster SH-S182D''.

Thanks
 
Check your jumper settings on it, also what is it being recognised as in device manager? it should show up under CD/DVD drives with the cd drive icon as the model name, if there are any errors such as a yellow ? or red !, or the name is showing up weirdly then there may be an error with it
 
I'm slightly curious what the problem was... It's definetly not driver related. Unless you're running Windows 3.1 or something, you don't need drivers for optical drives. I suspect you weren't using the correct software to burn...right? ;)
 
No it was some kind of jackets in the back of the DVD, he adviced me to put it in the middle, and it all worked successful, thanks for the replies guys.
