Bad Points
Does not come with any drivers and you have to pay HP to get the driver disk sent to you. windows xp only reads it as a combo scsi drive and will not release the driver
General Comments
This HP DVD400i dvd writer should say right on the box that it is not supported by windows xp and that HP will only provide support for a fee.
This is definitely not a product that i would recommend to anyone living outside the US as the cost for the drivers is obscene.

You must have bought one that was either second-hand or used or off of the street. It comes with the driver disk right in the box, as well as detailed written instructions and video instructions for it's installation. This product is recognized by Windows XP as a DVD writer and not a SCSI drive. I was able to install this with minimal effort in about 5 minutes following the proper steps and it has worked brilliantly ever since.

I also have one, and have had no problems with installing XP. I have had it about 6-8 months and I love it!! I would recommend it to anyone.
