    What brand is the drive? With XP, a USB DVD drive should be plug&play for reading and should be detected by burning software to write to. My LiteOn doesn't require any drivers in this way.

    No drivers should be necessary under XP. Make sure you have the latest service packs and updates for XP along with Chipset drivers for your motherboard. That is all you should need for USB devices like ROM drives, USB Hard drives and flash drives. If they are not working then something is wrong with your XP installation.
    At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.

    Sage advice as always from both Platy and Bob, also I would suggest to boot the unit up with the CD burner connected, but no disk inside. This will eliminate the chance of it being a simple U.S.B. port glitch.
