That would work but there is a few games that I want to play that i must buy from a burner because I cant find them for down load. :cheers:

I beleive Windows 2000 and XP autodetect DVD-ROM drives, as do Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.  Using Windows 98 and earlier may require a special driver. Linux may need a driver or a mount to enable it.

 Some BIOSes have a DVD drive setting that may need to be set on their IDE interface for it.   Additionally, most IDE and ATAPI DVD drives have a master/slave/cable select jumper.   

In order to burn CDs or DVDs using a DVD burner, you need software to do so, such as Roxio, Sonic, or Nero.

I use DBurnerXP Pro for burning CD/DVDs etc....
Pretty cool free burner. Has more feature than most of the lite burner software out there
