Contact Goldstar technical support.

...Isn't Goldstar an apple brand?Goldstar is not an Apple brand. The CD-ROM drive CAME in a Packard Bell. I'm just using the basic CD-ROM drivers that come with Windows. The OS is Windows 95. By regular CDs I meant the CDs that new software comes on. The kind you can't write to.Older CD-ROM's often can not seem to read EITHER CD-R's and CD-RW's. Or both.

Here seems to be a list with a VARIETY of drivers. Perhaps it is of use to you.
