Old Drives and Drivers with Vista

[halfakeyboard]

I doubt that they will, but what are the odds of an old DVD-ROM Drive (bought in 1999) and an old CD-RW Drive (bought in 2001) working with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit? Would either their drivers work, would Vista have it's own drivers available, or would I need to use newer drives?

The default windows drivers should pick up nearly all old dvd/cd drives. I've never yet needed to install a bespoke driver for any drive.

Ok, thanks. I saw found quite a few cases other people that were having problems with drives, so I wasn't sure.

I did, however, decide to spend a bit more money than I was originally planning so I will be buying a new drive, although I still might add one of my old ones.
