5.0 out of 5 stars I have had no problems
I bought this drive even though another review stated that the software was nothing but a pain. I installed the drive and I am using the software that was already installed for the CD/DVD burner that came with the computer. I did NOT install the software that came with the drive, I just allowed Windows to recognize the drive and install it's own drivers. That, and...

Don't bother wasting your money, or your time intstalling it. Had nothing but problems with the software that came with the hardware.

This review is from: Sony CRX320A/U 52x/32x/52x/16x Internal CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive (Personal Computers)
I bought this drive even though another review stated that the software was nothing but a pain. I installed the drive and I am using the software that was already installed for the CD/DVD burner that came with the computer. I did NOT install the software that came with the drive, I just allowed Windows to recognize the drive and install it's own drivers. That, and software I purchased for making cd's and such, and I am a VERY happy camper.

The drive has been working fine for over a month. We burn CD's on it. We use it as a source drive when we need to copy one of our homemade DVDs. It is working flawlessly.

I recommend this drive if you are comfortable with doing the install yourself. I can offer no opinion on the Sony supplied software, as I simply don't use it.

This CD drive has worked fine for me. I only installed the software programs that I needed. So far I have not had any software problems or conflicts.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Drive with Terrible Software, October 29, 2006
This review is from: Sony CRX320A/U 52x/32x/52x/16x Internal CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive (Personal Computers)
I am running an older OS and decided it would be nice to be able to watch a DVD on my system . I felt confident in the Sony name when I purchased the CRX320A CD RW DVD drive. After installing the NERO software and uninstalling it and then re-installing it about 10 times I gave up .
In desperation I found a old copy of LG's Power DVD and used that instead.The drive now works perfectly. My Windows 98se did not recognize the DVD aspect of the drive because the OS only has simple CD ROM drivers in it. So if you are running any OS other than XP you may find yourself having the same problems I had until you find a suitable DVD Player to install.
As for the supplied NERO software ....the CD might make a nice drink coaster ! I have no idea what was being thought when Sony included it with this drive because it simply doesn't work .
