My external DVD drive installation wont work.

i just bought a LG 20x USB 2.0 DVD+/-RW drive from staples and when i install error pops up "this software can onyl be installed with a LG(HLDS) device. i have a hp pavillion xp

Is the drive recognized without the software?

 

[lorne13]

yes it is

Can you then install the software from the drive itself? And is the software required to use the drive? If all you are installing is some suite like nero or something like that, I would be happy to help you find a free alternative which would install.
