Hello,
This is getting boring.... For what i understand from the inicial post... he
bought a DVD recorder NEC ND-3500 that said no drivers needed if using
Windows XP so it's an external plug'n'play compatible case... it already has
dvd nec nd-3500 inside... in LaCie case you don't have acess to the drive
itself and if you open the case you loose warranty... NEC ND-3500 already
includes NERO
Some chipsets on several boards aren't recognize by Windows XP... so if you
need USB 2 and the chipset isn't being recognize you have a problem...
normally even when the usb2 isn't recognize usb 1 devices still work...
So one of two... either he has a default drive or usb 2 drivers aren't
loaded...
