It's a Lite-on CD rewriter model LTR40125s

    If XP isn't recognizing it there's several reasons why not.

    1: Drive is actually bad

    2: Bad\loose connection at motherboard or CD Drive

    3: Bad IDE ribbon cable

    4: IDE ribbon cable on backwards

    5:Master\Slave Jumper set WRONG

    6: Power connector loose, not connected, bad

    I vote for jumper being set wrong on the back of the CD-ROM. The best setting is probably "Cable Select".
