This is a common problem with XP. It doesn't seem to make any difference as
to what you can do with the drives. My own PC has a super multi DVD burner
showing as a CD drive in My Computer for several months, but nevertheless I
can still read and write to DVD-RAM discs (something the XP supports
natively).
