my b/f just bought a DVD burner and it came with the Nero CD as well -- I tried it last night and it works fine -- all you have to do is enter the serial number and we were able to burn a DVD -- no other software required. So in answer to your question, yes the drive should include a working program and you shouldn't need to buy any other program. ~Lacey~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "DH (Rick) Holmes" <hayvan@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 2:16 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Hook up hard drives OT? > Hi, David, > > My new machine has a CD/RW and DVD-/+R/RW drive(one drive), but I can't > seem to write DVD?
