How to Update Drivers for DVD Burner?

m1ndless · 09-25-2008, 03:19 PM

I bought a new computer and then I took Vista off and installed XP Pro.

My computer will not burn any media, so I figure it must be the dvd drive's drivers, right?

I found the correct drivers on the TSS Corp website and I downloaded the .bin file but I am unsure of what to do now?

Do I just burn the bin as an ISO? Then how to I update the driver? In the device manager?

I am not getting any errors, my computer just freezes up and does not burn anything half way through burning.

[does not burn anything half way through burning.]
this is usually down to being underpowered
the burn log usally indicates what caused it
what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check your tempretures and voltages in the bios and post them

you sound like although you refered to drivers you are actually refering to flashing new firmware
the instructions are usually with the download
