I am LOOKING for a driver for a Sony 1516 DVD Rom drive. Sony says it is made by them but because it was installed by manufacture, I don`t know which, I have to go to them for the driver. They don`t support this drive. Anyone know of the driver, which OEM manufactured might have put this DVD Rom in their system? Drive was made in 2006.Which VERSION of Windows are you running ? ?

Some don't need DVD drivers at all.

patio. 8-)Win XP Home edition.Shouldn't need drivers but i'm not certain.
One thing you can try though is Control Panel /System / Hardware / Device Manager...find the DVD listing and right click it aand select remove.
Windows will automatically re-install it upon re-boot.

p.s. If this doesn't WORK since it's an older drive it may have failed...

You can get a brand new DVD burner for around 40 bucks shipped these days.It would be quite rare for a driver to be needed beyond what Windows provides. How did you decide this was an issue?Not really an issue .. just wanted to make sure my driver was up to date. The Winxp program came with a 4 year old COMPUTER. I have done the window updates. The drive I have installed because the original failed, is only a year old according to the date of mgf.It's up to date. Now go and enjoy your computer.
