dvd drives

I am looking for info for a computer type dvd/rw drive. This drive came from a stand alone dvd recorder, i think it was a CYBERHOME, exclusivley a WALMART product no longer sold. The label is as follows--- Brand- ARSTOR TECHNOLOGIES CORP of TAIPE, TAIWAN or perhaps it is ARISTOR? It is described as a dvd plus and minus r/rw drive. Physicaly it is identical to a dvd rom drive or a cd rom drive. 40 pin IDE cable, 4pin 12v dc power. Model # DVR-Y08. I cannot find any info. Please reply to reeltoreelguy@gmail.com Thank you. If I can find info I would like to install it in my test tower along with NERO 8 and see if I can record from the net. I have both typed of discs. The recorder did not function so I have no idea if this drive is functional. The error mess was "CANNOT FIND DISC/ NO DISC". I replaced it with a dvd rom as a test. No go. Disposed of the unit.

No harm in connecting it to the PC to see if it works. There were several models of standalone DVD recorders which used PC spec drives.

What info do you need? Receiving the "CANNOT FIND DISC/ NO DISC" error would make me think the drive has failed.
