NovaBACKUP supports virtually all CD Read/Write and DVD drives that have been shipped since June, 2000. With the thousands of different brands available from the many vendors, we find it easier to list the drives we have found that are not supported. On the chance you find your drive is not working, please let us know as soon as possible and we'll work with you. These drives have proprietary command sets and are not currently supported by NovaBACKUP. They also are typically very old and are very limited in capabilities compared to today's newer drives. We recommend replacing these drives, as they do not always work well with the new Windows operating systems.
