If xp is too dumb to find the correct driver it will give you a list of hardware to choose from.did that too it says code 39 driver missind or xxed upDoes your dvd drive require a special driver?
I'd look for you but Google would RETURN too many hits on "dvd drive".
Guessing the make & model number would be a long shot.
Guessing your operating system would be easier. QUOTE
