How do you have this drive set?
master/slave ?
primary/secondary interface?
Is it an IDE drive ?
Did you try installing any software for it already
or just using the native CDRW tools in WinXP ?
Was this installation of XP an Upgrade ?
If so, was the CDRW in it before the upgrade?

I setup a friends computer with XP and the CDRW quit working.
It was the slave to a CD-Rom master.
Turns out the CD-Rom was going bad and causing both drives
to malfunction in Windows.
