My computer is not picking up this External Burner
I have bought a Pioneer DVD / CD Writer model number DVR-115D which is a external writer with USB
the paperwork says with Windows XP no driver is needed, when i plug in the USB and conect power it words fine by playing, the little green light comes on - however my computer will not pick it up in any sub decrectorys - I cannot work out why this player is not reconised by my computer as it works fine and does not need a driver for it.

sorry - it works by the light comes on, the tray opens, the power is there - but my computer will not show it as eg F:/ under windows explorer
i do have A:/, B:/, C:/, D:/ & E:/ which are all built into my computer and working fine, however this new external usb drive is not being picked up by my computer
So it is working fine however not being picked up and shown in Windows Explorer - thats when i thought i would need a diver for it but the manual says if you are using Windows XP not need for one as it will detect it

I assume you are not getting the message something like new device found, device ready etc...
So
1. check if usb is enabled
2. clean the port as well as the cable ends
3. If this doesnot work out, check your drive on another pc just to confirm its the drive that has bug and not your PC or its settings
Else, I guess its good to have it checked from where you bought and replace it if required.

thank you for your help with this
This really doesn't make sense - What do you mean by it works but not is sub directories? Can you give us a specific example of what you are trying to do and what happens (error message, turns off, etc.)
