You external unit has to be picked up by your operating system in order to work. Is it a USB external player? Personally I would have just bought the replacement of the original drive online and replaced it instead of band-aiding it with an external drive. Now a hard drive external is different but a DVD or CD drive is just a fix for a problem that does not need to be there by getting a replacement for the original one that is apparently not working. This is not to sound mean towards you it is something for everyone to consider when reading this post. I'm assuming you have XP installed on this lap top and you need a driver.
btjunkie.org is my resource for all of
my XP drivers I answer this question a lot from folks that need drivers. If you
can I suggest upgrading anyway to Win 7 they are downloaded mostly for you
during the install process which makes it a lot easier these days to fix
machines. Less time in any event go to that site make sure that you have U torrent a torrent
file down-loader program software. Type in the search box once at the
btjunkie site XP drivers you will have thousands of them to download on one
disk insert the disk then go to devices seek the drivers needed to be found
point the seek to your drivers disk and hopefully it can be had. I never have
an issue with drivers using the software downloaded from there site. I hope
this assists you. It is also for those of you who read this post to keep your
driver files with your purchase when you bought the computer. If this is not
the case then you will have to hunt them down.
Now Win 7 would be a great software program for this lap top depending on the resources it has. It is all about plug and play. Without the hassle of seeking drivers. Especially with new stuff installed on your computer. The easier the better. I hope this assists you with your project it is a great learning experience for sure. John
