If it's a well known brand, you shouldn't need the original CD to get things like drivers, etc for the camera, they should be included right with the OS so it's as simple as plug-and-play.You can also search for the maker of the camera, and get the latest device drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux from their website.If you are looking for editing software for the camera, you usualy can't get it directly from the manufactures website. Call the camera maker and try to get a replacement disk.If all else fails, Google's free Pisca and Adobe Premier Elements (cheap) can be used instead of the originals.
