You don't need any driver.... Windows XP provides native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk and to burn a cd-r disk. Anything else (burning cd-rw, burning dvd) requires compatible 3rd party software, ie: Nero, Roxio, Power2Go, Alcohol 120%, etc. Support for burning dvd disks comes solely from the burning software (not from Windows os). You say you have Nero (what version) so what's the problem (other than Device Manager showing incorrect drive)? What issue/problem does that cause?

You will need compatible 3rd party dvd decoding software in order to play dvd movie disks, eg: WinDVD or PowerDVD.
