Do you have the CD for that particular drive If you have it here's what you do:

1. Right click the My Computer icon. A menu will come up; left click on the Properties option.

2. Left click on device manager. That will show you the list of devices in your computer. Click on the (+) on the device where your driver is needed (e.g. display adapters). It will show you the specific name of your particular device (e.g. Nvidia Geforce 2). Click on that then click the Properties tab below that.

3. Click on the driver menu then click on the Update Driver Tab. This activates the device driver wizard. Click Next. Instead of clicking on search for a better driver (recommended), click on the circle marked `Display a list of all the drivers in a specific location...' . Click next.

4. Before you do anything else, insert the CD with the driver you want pressing the shift key so it won't autoplay. Once the driver CD is in and the blinking LED light is gone, Click ` Have Disk'. Click Browse then go the drive with the particular CD and press OK. When your prompted to change to that driver click `Yes'. (They'll show you some warnings blah-blah-blah about what will happen if you do this; just click Yes anyway)

Hope this helps
