That's because Windows XP doesn't need CD or DVD drivers.  And trying to use drivers will mess things up, sometimes forcing you to reinstall Windows, depending on what they changed when you installed them.

download the driver specailly made for XP\n-check if the USB ports are working fine\n-go to control panel add remove hardware and search for h/w\n-if the hardware is found, select install hardware manually and provide the location of the dirver.\n-Done.

I've installed XP maybe over a hundred times and I've never seen XP not have the drivers for cd drives, hard drives or floppy drives.  Even when I change them out for different drives XP always recognize them.  These drivers are native to all versions of Windows 95 and up.  So the answer to your question is yes xp does have the drivers for your dvd drive and cd burner.  \n\nHowever, you may have trouble with drivers for your other devices (depending on how new they are) such as modem, audio, graphics, NIC and sound.  If they're older devices, xp will probably have the drivers.  The newer they are the more likely it won't.  Also when you do your windows updates use the custom option instead of express and you may find some drivers there.  But again you won't need to do any of this for your cd or dvd drives.

Are you running windows XP or 98SE?  check driverguide.com for your sound card and drivers for your OS.  Without the original cds, you either have to go to the manufacturer of your sound card or to driverguide.com

You need to get the XP pro upgrade.  It should come with a new recovery disc.

You may have a driver problem......\nI should've asked that same question, a month ago.\nTry going to Add/Remove Hardware in Control Panel.\nLook for your CD Driver, and Remove it from your Computer.\n(Don't worry),. After that, Restart your computer.\nThe computer will regonize a "new" piece of hardware in your system.  The Install Wizard should activate, follow the directions,\nand Restart Computer, just to be safe.  Good Luck

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.

Go to the device manager by right clicking My Computer and select "Manage", then on the pane on the left in the list find and click on "Device Manager", then in the window on the right look for DVD/CD Drives or somethin like that and click the "+" sign to expand.\n\n  If there is a question mark next to the device (the drive your having trouble with) then that means something is wrong, in any case I would sugest downloading and installing new drivers. You can search for the latest driver for your device on the manufacturers web site of your device, download the right driver and save to the C drive or desktop (just to make it simple), double click your device in the device manager window, then click the "Drivers" tab, then click the "Update Drivers" button, select the "No, not this time" radio button and click "Next". then select the "Install from a list or spacific location(Advanced)"  radio button and click next, then go to where you saved the driver you doenloaded from the manufacturers web site and double click the driver (make sure it unzipped if it came in a .ZIP file), and hopefully that will help.\n\n If that didnt work then it may not be plugged in securley or the Drive is bad and will need to be returned to the store you bought it from. GOOD LUCK!

If your windows atleast loads, Then install the Intel chipset software driver or the driver of the chipset you use on the Motherboard. (It muste be in the CD that came with the Board).\n\nOr if the windows doesnot load. Then You have to reinstall windows XP.\n\nYou can also Try repairing the Windows using the Setup process. That might help.

You definitely need a driver to start with, otherwise even your laptop recognize it you cannot install it.\ngo to search the external dvd drive manufacturer site and look for the latest driver of your laptop windows version, install it first, then check the cable see if it still good, otherwise replace it.\nif no dvd drive manufacturer site/not providing old driver, try this driver archive site\nhttp://www.driverguide.com\nGood luck.
