Find it on DriverGuide (http://members.driverguide.com/index.php?action=srch&sm=b&aax=&qa6=0&qa5=3&qa7=1500&dp=3&qm0=dvd103+ide&jmd=and&fzz=d) | Find it with Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=pioneer+CD+%2F+DVD+pioneer+dvd103+ide+Windows+XP +Professional+)

Optical drives do not require any driver other than the one included with the OS. Please explain what the term "is using a scsi driver" means. IDE drives use IDE controllers and the IDE controllers use native Windows drivers. Do you have any scsi hardware in the machine?
