Maxtor dvd/cd external rom

Winston · 12-29-2007

I have an external Maxtor dvd/cd rom and each time I try to copy a file to a dvd/or cd it tells me that the disc is corrupt, and/or empty/or that it doesn't like any brand I try to insert. I have installed the Vista Home Basic version. Do I need a special driver for that or can one of the correction programs fix it? HELP Max

Hi Winston,
