well

i dont know where to go the box says iomagic but the burner is recognized as a sony so im not sure whats what really
 
if it is a sony. it should also say that on the box. oimagic is either some software or the name of the cd burner. but to find the driver go to the sony website.
if you are having trouble with that, find that cd burner you bought on newegg or some other site and post the link here and i will find it myself.
 
well she called dell

she called dell and they helped her get it working i think

so cd burners need drivers? how do they read cds if that person with the burner doesnt have a internet connection to get drivers? or are the drivers already in them just have to be activated somehow
 
well they shouldnt need it since they should be installed automatically. but sometimes something goes wrong and you have to reinstall drivers
