Thanks to all who provide great feedback to us beginners...
Did a search but found only bits and pieces of info...
Question: Buying new Benq 1640 to replace old Lite-on CD writer which will be moved to kids computer. I also have old OEM version of Nero 4 or 5??
Any suggestions to make sure install goes well.
My searching found these comments....
Uninstall all old software and old drive...use uninstall program in XP Pro
Was told to uninstall the secordary channel in device manager and let windows reinstall. both my Lite-on CD writer (#1 on 2nd channel) and my DVD player (#2 on 2nd channel) is on this channel. Would this hurt my DVD drivers, etc...
Any warning about uninstall of Nero ( version 5 I think)?
Any other suggestions....
It seems in reading some threads that proper install the first time leads to better success rate...
Puter info:
