My burner won't burn!!

Hey ya'll.

I'm running a P4 3.2 GHz, LGA 775 Chip on a P4P800 Asus MoBo with 512 ram. I have a LiteOn LTN486S 48x Max CD Burner, yet it won't burn anything to CD! I tried downloading the driver from CDROM-drivers.com and it won't run on XP claiming:

"The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

I can't find the driver anywhere else, and the device didn't come with any CDs or anything. I really don't know what to do...any ideas?

 

it's not a burner it's just a cd rom
here's the driver page:

good luck.

 

I suppose there's a possibility you could be right, but I'm nearly 100% positive that it's a burner. When I bought it, it was advertised as a 48x burner, and my computer recognizes it as a burner and a DVD player when I right click on its properties...it's just when I try and burn to CD it doesn't work.

Plus, I burnt all of my music to my hard drive, so it does have a capability to burn. Maybe installing this driver will fix it...?

Thanks.

 

Well thanks for your help all! Looks like a burner is in my buying future!

 

good luck in your search, usually when you get a burner your going to see three numbers like 52/24/52 the lower number is the rewrite speed, and the two 52s are read and write speed.
get the highest numbers you can, liteon is a excellent brand-if you want to stick with that brand, that would be good.

again good luck.
