Question 1

Is this compatible with my windows 7 OS?

Accepted Answer

I have only tried this drive under Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux, but Windows 7 should work with any drive you purchase out there on the market.

Question 2

is this a single or dual level dvd burner?

Accepted Answer

If you mean dual layer, yes. If you are buying it because you had an old Memorex cd-rom or even dvd of a few years ago and you remember the quality, don't. Not the quality product they once were.

Question 3

does this burner interconnect with my desktop with an IDE cable?

Accepted Answer

No... this is a Serial ATA drive.

Question 4

dose this come with a sata cable and a burner software an driver disk? i have bought memorex burners for all my new pc builds. an they came with them.

Accepted Answer

Yes. They come with 1 red cable and a CD of Nero 12.

Question 5

Since I upgraded to Windows 10, my burner is no longer recognized. Is there an updated driver? I can boot from the drive using a Recovery disk I made, so it works, but not in Windows.

Accepted Answer

I would check with Memorex web site for /win 10 drivers to support your DVD burner. Also you could try Slim Drivers app which is free and may find a driver that will work.

Question 6

I want to replace a memorex MRX 500N burner and need to know if this MRX 550L can be mounted in my Dell 2400 Dimension desktop?

Accepted Answer

As long as you have enough SATA connections, yes.  Most burners will work with DELL, as I have several DELL desktops and have interchanged DVD BURNERS.
