| 1138167 | 2010-09-18 12:57:00 | I recently had a new build from ComputerLounge with Windows 7 64-bit installed. I am thinking of ordering the LG GH22NS50 22X SATA OEM DVD WRITER. Are Windows 7 64-bit drivers available? Would you recommend this DVD Writer? I have a Gigabyte GA-H55-USB3 motherboard installed. www.computerlounge.co.nz |

| 1138169 | 2010-09-18 21:49:00 | Personally speaking, I have seen a lot of failures with LG - I used to use them in builds, but many would fail after 6 -11 months - These days i use either Lite-On or Asus. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1138170 | 2010-09-18 23:52:00 | Thanks for the replies. I tried putting the DVD Writer from my old computer in my newly built computer from ComputerLounge. This was my original plan so I did not include a new DVD Writer in the build. My old DVD writer is a Super Multi DVD Writer Model:GSA H55L dated December 2007. I installed it in my new Windows 7 64-bit computer. It powered up and Windows installed a new driver. The computer's windows explorer tells me that I now have a Floppy Disk Drive in A: which is news to me. I notice that ComputerLounge are using the LG GH22NS50 22X SATA OEM DVD WRITER (mentioned in my first post) in some of their new builds. Not a bad price at $55 (cheaper is not always better). |

| 1138171 | 2010-09-19 00:00:00 | LG GH22LS50 22x LightScribe Black SATA DVD Writer was the one they sold me about 6 weeks ago - no problems, but I haven't done much with it yet. :( Just used it to play music, set up new software - basic stuff. |
