2. Do you have the install disc?
You got when you bought your puter? It should have the drivers.

8. Internal CDR drives usually come with spare drivers on a disc

7. I've had pretty good luck finding drivers on line
Try the manufacturer's website, or do a google search for the model number of the device, brand name, and the word "driver." Also, you can search for the actual name of the driver file. Lots of sites have drivers you can download.

Good luck.
