With what o/s? They both should with xp,vista and windows 7 the driver should be auto installed during the installation process or if adding to a existing system just use the auto install driver option on the dvd drive in device mananger.

Windows 7 has built in CD Packet burning software so you can drag data and files onto them like a hard drive if you're only going to use them on another computer. If you need a proper track-based data disc (e.g. music CD) or want to burn .img files then there are several popular programs that a quick search should fine, CDBurnerXP for example.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 Advanced

Got my license from the Give away of the day website earlier this year and it works great.

Just remember to do a custom installation and un-tick the tool bar and web search junk!

Windows 7 has programs built in for burning audio CD's and video DVD's etc so you may not need any additional software for using them.
A free program I often use though is ImgBurn.
