Hello,
Can anyone please help? I have misplaced my disc for my Lg Model GH24NS50 Dvd Burner. I recently reinstalled it in a new computer and it is looking for raid controller software, I use this burner quite frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bryan

A DVD drive has nothing to do with RAID controller hardware/software (RAID is related to your hard drives). Have you also installed some other hardware?

How do you deal with idiots like me lol? I do have an external hardrive that was hooked to my old computer by usb cable, I don't think it came with any software when I got it though. How do I correct this issue? Thanks for your time and understanding not to mention expertise.

An external hard drive would not need/use RAID software/hardware as RAID is used with multiple hard drives to improve performance and/or provide data redundancy.

Is the DVD also an external drive?

If it's an internal drive I would check the data cable and if it's an IDE device the jumpers. If you have two IDE devices attached to ONE cable then you need the jumpers set to master and slave. (1 master and 1 slave). Perhaps these are wrong and the OS is giving you some strange RAID related error message.

If it's a SATA device I would move the cable to another of the motherboard's SATA sockets.
