Mandrake Help!?

I have the philips fw-c577/37 5 disc cd changer. it has a usb pc link, and when i connect it it works fine. in windows.

i guess this is my welcomne to the wonderfull world of linux. since philips told me that they dont support it in linux (though i dont think the tech support knew what linux was...), i was wondering is there a way to use windows drivers in linux?

nope.
The srivers have to be coded for the specific version of the Operating System. So... nvidia window drivers are not the same as the linux drivers, etc.
