Query: not a great choice as an external CD drive for a laptop

I have a Toshiba tablet PC that came with an external CD drive. When that drive failed I thought I would step up to DVD burning with this Iomega unit. Unfortunately the Iomega drive isn't recognized by Windows even as a plain vanilla CD reader. So you can't load the software from the CD-ROM included with the machine. Nor can you download drivers from Iomega's Web site because they claim that no drivers are needed for Windows XP. So basically you can't use this as a CD-ROM drive except on a computer that already has a working CD-ROM drive. The drive is actually about the same size and weight as the Toshiba tablet PC!
