I am trying desperatley to reinstall drivers for my CDROM. It s a Dell
Dimension 4300 and the drivers for the LG8482b were installed at the
factory.
Right now there is no driver ...no record of the thing ever being installed
on the machine....Device manager ...only shows the burner and not the cd
rom. I ran some Flash thing that totally erased the drivers for it. I found
a driver on and installed it...it installed it to a folder it made call
C:/CDROM which shows up in explorer (windows) but when I hit an executable
within that folder called EJECT it opens the burner....so does that mean it
applied it to the existing one?meaning the burner?
What folder do I need to extract those files to? is it
C:/windows/system32/cdrom? I see that one there?where do the drivers for the
cdrom reside?
Thanks in advance
Dad
