Tiziano, there's nothing Unique about your LiteOn drive. WinXP should
have the necessary drivers. You could have corrupt
drivers. Try going back into Device Manager>Dvd/Cdrom Drives. Rt click
on each one and choose Uninstall. Uninstall the
device not the driver. Restart and let WinXP reinstall the Drives.
