• Esw860 Drivers For Mac

Hi Angom, Welcome to Microsoft community forum. I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:. What is the make and model of the computer and DVD drive?. Are you using internal or external DVD drive? Windows comes with drivers for many devices, such as printers, displays, keyboards, and TVs.

A driver is software that a device uses to work with your PC. Every device needs a driver to work with your PC. So, in many cases, you can plug in a device, and it’ll work automatically.

You can use Windows update to check for drivers for DVD drive. Refer this Microsoft article: Download and install drivers (Also applicable for Windows 10 Technical Preview) If Windows update cannot find the drivers for your DVD drive contact the device manufacturer and check for drivers. Hope this helps.

If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help. John Rubdy Forum Moderator Microsoft Community.

Esw860 Drivers For Mac

The drive doesn't do much of anything unless you have a disk in the drive. When your external drive plugged in to your MacBook, click on the Apple menu, and choose About this Mac, and then click on the More Info button. That should launch the System Profiler. Click on USB from the list on the left. You should see your external CD drive listed as a USB device. If you have a disk in the drive, click on the CD drive listing, and you should see information about the disk, too. And, you should see that disk appear on the desktop.

That's assuming that the finder settings are set to show a CD. That might even be turned off in the Finder Preferences. Keep in mind that the drive doesn't do much unless you have a CD/DVD of some kind, allowing the Mac to try to mount a disk. That will be different from using the drive in a PC, where you can see the drive, likely even without a disk in the drive. You didn't answer - Does there appear to be power on the drive when you plug the drive into your Mac? (Does the tray open and close, or if a slot-loading drive, can you insert and eject a disk?

If there is a drive activity light, does that do anything when you insert a disk?). I am most impressed by the fact that you say that the external drive does not show in your System Profiler, under the USB tab. If the drive has power, and is connected to a working USB port on your MacBook, then it should appear in your System Profiler (even if it doesn't appear as a valid device in your Disk Utility.) Here's one way that I would verify this: Leave the drive disconnected, and open the System Profiler/USB tab. Plug in the drive to your MacBook (check that the drive actually has power), then press Command-R, which will refresh the device list. Watch for any changes in the USB listing, even if it doesn't appear to be a CD or DVD device. Does the USB listing change in any way?
