ASUS DVD Re-Writer (DRW-24F1ST) - Driver Required
First of all, I'm not sure this is the right section of the forum to post this question.
If it isn't can a Mod please move it to the more appropriate section - thanks.
Okay - to the question.
I have just installed Win 10 Pro on an SSD with a separate (& large) data disk.
I have installed various old programs that I used to have in the previous Win 7 installation by downloading the appropriate (and newer) version for Windows 10.
I have used CDBurnerXP for burning .iso images to disk in the past. However, when I downloaded the latest version of Linux Mint (20 "Ulyana") and tried to burn that to disk, CDBurnerXP reports "No compatible drives".
PC has a DVD Re-writer - an ASUS DRW-24F1ST:
... and when I check that the best (& latest) driver is installed, Windows tells me it is:
However, the ASUS website only lists a utility for this drive - called E-Green, which when run only appears to be some sort of energy management program - it doesn't install and drivers.
There appear to be drivers available from third parties - such as pcmatic.com (version 10.0.18362.1 for Win 10 64-bit) and driveridentifier.com (version 10.0.15063 for Windows 10) - but nothing on Microsoft (save for the 2006 generic driver version 10.0.19041) or on the ASUS website.
Can I trust pcmatic.com or driveridentifier.com for a driver??
Otherwise, my DVD Re-writer simply works only as a CD-ROM drive!
Cheers,
