If it shows up as a DVD/CD RW, then YES, you can use XP to create CDs only.
You can get other softwatre to create DVDs.

I suggest you check with the drive manufacturer, there must be a compatible
software bundled so you can write to CD/DVDs on the external drive. Also,
you can choose free CD/DVD burning software from download.com:

Note that some of the free software on the site have adware, which sustains
the free software.
