No you don't and that disc probably has only Windows files on it. All you have to do is connect it to a USB port and it is ready to use. To see if the drive is actually seen by your Mac open Disk Utility, It is in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, and the drive should be listed on the left hand side.

Do I need to download software to use my new Samsung SE- 218CB Portable DVD Writer? I put the disc in that came with it and nothing happened. Now I can't get it to eject to try a cd or dvd to see if it even works. It says it is compatible with Mac, but now that I'm looking at the box, the disk only contains software download for Windows. Any suggestions?
