Installing a DVD burner
John,
DVD burners can be installed on Win Me without problem. What is possible is that the software that came with your DVD writer cannot be installed on Win Me in which case you might want to consider using alternative software. This leads me to asking what software is included with the DVD? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP John wrote: I have purchased a DVD burner which states that it requires Windows2000 or XP, has anyone installed a burner on windows ME and is there anything I need to do like to upgrade to 2000 or XP? |

Installing a DVD burner
John,
I'm sorry but these are peer to peer newsgroups and I am unable to provide e-mail support. I haven't been able to find out any useful information on the Medion MD42064 DVD writer from the various Medion web sites I've been looking at so have no idea as to why they might be saying that it can only be installed on systems running W2K or XP. To be honest that makes no sense to me whatsoever. How is this drive connected to the PS? Is it an external drive using a protocol not natively available as part of Win Me such as usb2 or firewire 800? If an internal drive that connects to the motherboard's IDE controller, make sure you have it jumpered correctly (maser, slave or cable select as appropriate). Is the DVD writer recognised by the bios? In the Device Manager? In Explorer? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: Mike, it is a Medion MD42064, I have sent you an e-mail to your hotmail addy. |

Installing a DVD burner
I installed a dvd burner and have ME and XP installed in a
dual boot configuration. My burner works fine on both systems. If it does not work you might have to find the drivers for the burner online. |
