Optical drives NEVER require a driver when used in any Windows os from Win95 up. Windows XP provides native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk and to burn a cd-r disk. It has no support for playing dvd disks. For that task, compatible dvd decoding software (WinDVD or PowerDVD) is required.
Do no use any of the drivers posted in the above link. Those are for use in DOS.
