Try going into your device manager, removing the drive all together, and then restart, letting the drive get recognized, then reinstall the driver.

 

Thank you I am 16 and still have a little difficulty reading that kind of stuff cause I like to type more proper.

Back on subject, did you ever get this working, or have you abandoned the complete need for it and gotten a new drive?

One more though as to what you could do that just clipped my mind as I wrote this post, try making sure you are completely up to date on everything, make suer you have XP service pack 2 installed etc and all that fun stuff.

 

If the disks you are using are too modern for the drive you will need to get a firmware update for it from TSST.

Does it recognise your old burnt disks?

Some burning programs include a UDF format program (the one Nero has is InCD). That may be the cause.
