i'm swapping a cd-burner from a 98 comp to an xp comp. im fine with installing it, but do i have to do anything before i take it out of the other comp, like uninstall anything - or do i just rip it out of the box and let windows do the rest?!?

thanks
 
no.. go to the device manager and uninstall the drive then shut off your computer and take it out
 
You should be fine just turning off 98 comp then removing drive...i have never removed drivers for a cdrom, dvdrom, cdburner
 
Remove all CD Burning Software from 98 Box. Then remove Drive from Device Manager, remove Drive. Install in XP Box, Boot up and let XP install it's own drivers for the Drive. Then install CD Burning Proggy on XP, if it's compatible with XP. Otherwise get newest version and/or XP version of Proggy.
 
thanks people!
that really helps - im about to start ripping them apart. wish me luck :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
