Hi Tiffany , since you said that you downloaded the XP drivers I'll just assume that
they are the correct ones for the 7200e ,it's not the burner in itself thats the
problem there is a mini IDE(atapi) controller in the case that holds the burner and
that needs to be installed so XP can talk through it to the burner. Lets try this
- run the driver exe and then stop, this will unzip it to your hard drive , go to
device manager and right click that errored atapi controller ,choose properties ,
choose update driver from the driver tab ? (I don't have an errored entry to look
at but i know update or install driver is there somewhere!) When it asks where the
new driver is enter C:\WinXP_LPT_Driver and press ok it should proceed to install
a driver and may ask you to reboot , ask or not reboot anyway, when you come back
up hopefully the error is gone from device manager and you now have a cdrom , now
to burn to this drive you need XP COMPATABlE burner software this drive is not supported
by XP's native burning , I recommend HP recordnow max ,very XP compatable (version
3.5) , a free download from the 7200e support page only 5.78 megs also if you want
to use it like a hard drive get the DLA download also, let us know how it goes, Case
