    Hi,

    I have purchased a DVD writer from a local store, but on installing it I can't identify what driver to load for it in Pinnacle InstantDVD.

    According to Windows the drive is a "DVDRW DRW-1S81" and CDVDInfo tells me that it has firmware revision HSG7. It's an 8x +R/4x -R model.

    I've trawled the web a little and discovered that it might be a rebadged Liteon 811S. Can anyone confirm this, and if so will it be safe to load the latest 811S firmware onto the drive?

    Thanks.
