There is no special driver for optical drives. Windows should recognise it out-of-the box.
Check cable and jumper settings at first.

Thank you. It might be the jumper settings, but I'll check it out.

I have solved it. I had to remove alcohol virtual drive by removing alcohol 120% software to get my drive recognised by Windows XP and it's working fine now

Thanks for the help people.
