Does this burner work with windows 8? This seems to be an issue with software and hardware with this os.

I don't have a clue since I don't use Windows 8. With my new computer I paid a premium to get it with Windows 7.

I haven't had any issues. I have the burner on a system with win 8.1 and imgburn.

I'm running Windows 8.1 pro. I haven't had a single issue with the drive as far as software or any hangs when using Windows base software to burn media.

I have windows 7 and it worked fine with that. Do not have an answer for Windows 8. Sorry. Probably should contact the seller.

Yes it does. Mine used to work fine, but the DVD burner is not working anymore. It's probably because I bought it used. I'll have to get it checked.

I have OS 10.7.5. The burner works fine; seems a little slow, but I don't have much experience with other burners to compare it to. For the price, I'm very happy with it.

Yes, I had windows 8 and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to windows 8.1 and it still works the same, no problems.

I'm using mine with a Windows 7 system. I don't know if it will work with Windows 8, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

While Windows 8 is not listed, it should work with Windows 8.1 I briefly tested it and it required the disk in the drive to work.

yes it does...I didn't install the software. I just let win7 find the hardware and it works fine. didn't need more stuff I won't use.you might need to install the disk if u want to get 24x burn speed ? but I use imgburn to burn and it works fine at 16x [verbatim dvd+R blanks]

The only Windows OS listed on the support page that it works with are xp, 2000, and Vista. Because it was discontinued several years ago I doubt that there are drivers for windows 8.

I have systems with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. I haven't tested all aspects with both, but can attest it operated immediately when I plugged it into a Win 8.1 laptop. It should both play back and burn audio discs, DVDs, and will read software programs recorded on optical discs. What it will NOT do is handle Blu-ray formats.

It works fine for me with Windows 8. The worst part for me was updating the software that came with it.

I have not had a problem with using it with Windows 8. In fact, I bought it after getting a computer with 8 on it. I love it.

Hello....I'm not sure because I'm running 7 but when I recieved my burner I ran the setup cd and it said device not found....well the burner light wouldn't even come on so it was defective and was sent back....in my opinion I would stay away from this product... I wouldn't take the chance.

It does work on windows 8 but it uses a secondary program to perform all its functions. You cant download the disc that comes with the printer and that is why it uses a program called paper port to use it. Brother states they will have it compatiable in a short time!
