Short answer:
You dont need to install drivers, windows will automatically recognize the drive(s).

DVD burners don't require model specific drivers on any modern Windows OS.  Unless there is something wrong with the OS and/or the drive, the drive should just plug in and work (assuming you have burning software).

Okay well I just bought my second drive, now I have two identical drives, so when I get my computer all put together (new computer) I guess I'll only need to install the LG CD once. Am I correct?
