Optical drives never require a driver when used in any Windows os from 95 up. Windows XP has native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk and to burn a cd-r disk. No support for burning cd-rw disks. For that task, compatible 3rd party recording software is required.

Please state what your problem is and include some details.
