Best Answer

An external CD re-writer connects to a computer or laptop via a USB cable. When you connect the device for the first time, your operating system will have to acknowledge the device and at this time, if any software is required, you will be prompted to install it. Any software that may be needed for the device to work properly will come with the re-writer.
