Btw, optical drives (AFAIK) do not need drivers in XP.
The drive works fine as long as the cd/dvd has a boot file on it. I have tried a couple of boot utilities and the drive opens them up fine to read the files. If not boot file the the drive can not see it. I am working on updating the drivers by each MFG. SIS is a big one 5 drivers to update.
Will post when I am done and see if everything works.
