Gee, your brand new drive didn't have a native driver in your ten year old operating system...what a suprise
Sorry, just can't help making fun of people who run ancient operating systems
In all seriousness, assuming the drive is standard PATA and not SATA, XP should see it as a drive without drivers. You might not get lightscribe, dual layer, etc, but it should show up regardless. You should look further up the food chain, for example make sure the controller its attached to is listed in hardware manager, etc.
