Installing Device Drivers and Software
Your Windows system already has device drivers that let you use the drive to install and set
up software from CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs as soon as the drive is installed. However, to
make use of all the drive’s features, such as writing to discs and playing commercially
recorded movies, you need to install additional software.
To Use the BD Writer:
As a CD-ROM drive: Most Windows Operating Systems (Windows Vista, Windows
XP, Windows 2000) supply a generic CD-ROM device driver that lets the BD drive
function as a standard CD-ROM drive as soon as it’s installed. If you’re using one of
these operating systems, you do not need to install additional software to read or play
CDs.
As a DVD-ROM drive: Most operating systems also let the DVD drive function as a
DVD-ROM drive as soon as it’s installed. If you’re using one of these operating systems,
you do not need to install additional software to read or play DVDs.
As a CD, DVD or BD writer: To write to CD, DVD or BD media (recordable or
rewritable), you need to install additional software. The software CD included with your
BD drive includes this software, offering functions such as mastering, packet writing,
backing up your hard disk or files, capturing audio, and more
To Install Software:
Install any software that came with your drive by inserting the software disc into the
drive and following the onscreen instructions.
