Optical drives never require a driver when used in any Windows os from Windows 95 up. Windows XP provides native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk. It does not, however, provide any support for playing dvd movie disks. For that task, compatible dvd decoding software (like WinDVD or PowerDVD) is required. There are a few free dvd decoders lurking on the net but I don't put much faith in those other than what I made specific mention of).
