Do You Need a Driver? (Internal Optical Drives)

All of the Sony internal optical drives are plug & play with Windows so no drivers are required for detection in your pc.  If you are having issues getting your drive detected then please try the following:  

  • Ensure the Sony drive is set as a secondary master by itself.  If you have another disc burner or a zip drive on the same IDE cable, please separate them.
  • Ensure you have the latest Service pack for your Windows operating system and any other updates for your system installed.
  • Please remove your secondary IDE channel from the Device Manager.  To do this:
    1. Right click on My Computer and then left click on properties.
    2. Choose hardware tab.
    3. Select Device Manager.
    4. Click on the + in front of IDE/ATAPI controller.
    5. Right click on secondary IDE and then choose uninstall.
    6. Restart your computer.  
  • Ensure you have the latest BIOS and Motherboard updates for your system.
