One rarely needs to install drivers for optical CD or DVD drives. What
you _might_ be referring to is any CD/DVD mastering/writing software but
even then I've swapped drives on a number of occasions and not had to
change my software.

Correction you would might have had to install drivers if the CD-ROM was
pre around 1997 or so when standards were more fluid.

Pardon me for butting in, Mart, but I seem to recall quite some time
back running into trouble when trying to install a new DVD drive. I
didn't remove the old drivers in device manager before removing the
old CD-ROM. It is important that one does so in order to avoid
complications.
Can you verify?
