I need a BTC driver-their site is down

My CD RW isn't working after reformatting and I've been told its because I need a driver from BTC which I didn't back up.

Unfortunatly BTC's website isn't working so I don't have anywhere to download it from. Does anyone know of anywhere else I can get a driver for a 40x12x48 CD RW?

Try this site. Works for me.

(By the way, welcome to Cyber Tech!!)

Thanks zip, when I posted it that link wasn't working, yet it started to about an hour later. I still haven't worked out how to install the things so maybe its best I take in back into the computer shop and let someone there look at it.

Installing the driver is relatively simple.

When you download the driver, choose 'Save to disk'. It'll ask you where to save it - write down where you've saved it (i.e. 'C:\Windows\Temp', 'My Documents', wherever you want).

Then, right-click My Computer>Properties>Device Manager tab. Click the + sign next to CDROM. You'll see the drive listed - highlight it by left-clicking once on it, and choose Properties from the bottom of the box.

Click on the Driver tab at the top of the next box you see, and choose Update Driver (at the bottom of the box).

When asked what you want to do, point it to where you've stuck the driver (C:\Windows\Temp, My Documents, etc.). Windows should take care of the rest.

Post back if you run into anything weird (with the driver update, I mean).
