    Would this model work on windows 98 and if so would it work with Nero 6 OEM software?

    Compatibility - Windows® Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, or Business, or Windows XP Home/Professional operating systems

    what is your system specs? win98 is not supported by anyone now for the past 2yrs.

    I have been told IDE optical drives are generic devices as far as win-98 is concerned, so would that not mean that I could work with them on 98?

    Paula, I am afraid to say you are incorrect with your statement.

    I currently use Nero 6 on windows 98 spec hardware.

    Hi there.

    Confused what you mean, as Paula had said that Nero 6 won't work on 98 spec hardware, but
    I have said being a current user that Nero 6 works fine on Windows 98 spec hardware. And
    I can also add that I have just installed today a new DVD writer and it installed and burns plus works with Nero 6 with no problems at all, and all on Windows 98 S.E.
