Pioneer DVD-RW Drive reads but won't burn

Sound like the DVD-RW drive is not compatible with the "native" XP bruning
tools. Did you install the included DVD burning CD?

I installed all the software it came with. It has a Win 2000 driver, but
says not to install a driver if you're running xp. I did download the latest
firmware from Pioneer's site - no help....
