I recently purchased a LaCie D2 DVD RW burner and have attempted to install it.  However when it is plugged in Windows says that it has found a new hardware device and opens up an installation wizard.  It cannot find the driver for the device anywhere.  I have tried to search the CD for the driver and search the drivers folder all to no avail.  Also useless was installing the Win98 USB2.0 driver included on the installation CD.  I am running Windows XP Professional (it is an system upgraded from the originally installed XP Home).  I would APPRECIATE any help.  Thanks.

~Black WolffDid you check the manufacturer's web site for updated drivers and/or updated installation instructions?Yes I did, the only thing they had was the Windows 98 USB2.0 driver that I'd already installed.  They repeatedly say that with XP you shouldn't need any drivers.  I've had this happen before with a USB memory stick (but not on my desktop running XP Home) and so I've wondered if it was perhaps caused by my installation of XP Pro several months ago.

~Black WolffI plugged the drive into my brother-in-law's laptop and it installed perfectly without any action needed on my part.  This is what my computer refuses to do!  It says that it needs to search for the driver.  I wonder if my XP library of drivers has somehow been DELETED.  When the drive is installed on the other laptop it is recognized in the device manager as "_NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A USB Device"

*sigh*  I tried seeing what FILES were associated with its driver and copying them to my computer but I've not had any luck with this yet.
