Samsung Writer Discuss, SH-S182D detected instead of 182M at CD and DVD Writers forum; I bought the SH-S182M at Microcenter, but after installing windows detected the 182D. Where can I get a driver to tell windows that I have the M - or is it possible that the guys at Microcenter messed up the drives (it`s an OEM and came in a simple bag)??

Hi and Welcome!

go back and return the drive if you wanted a M and got a D instead. The M has additional hardware to support Lightscribe, the D has not.
There should be a sticker on top of the drive: What can be read there?

It only says DVD Writer model SH-S182. But I did a check with Nero Info-Tool and obviously it is the D not the M.
