Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-C2502
I just reinstalled Windows ME on an inspiron 4000 PIII. The toshiba DVD drive shows as a Standard CD ROM and does not recognize DVD's. I am not sure what drive I have to download to correct the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I checked the WinMe reinstallation disk and the driver folder had no DVD drivers. It did not come with a seperate disk. Dell has been no help with this problem. Note: The inspiron is 1 1/2 years old. It is my sons. The computer was infected with a virus. I performed a clean install and am now getting the drivers up and running. The dvd driver is the one I am having problems with.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your reply Bacillus

you do NOT need any third party drivers for the dvd drive as the necessary drivers are built into thr windows OS.
I assume that the drive is seen in my computer & there are no error messages in device manager!

Thanks for the info. My computer does see the CD drive. I guess all I need is a DVD player. I will Download one and see if that works.
Thanks for your help.
