    Since XP was released in 2001, I'm going to assume ME.

    wba88, we're going to need a lot more information from you before we can help.

    At what stage are you seeing this error? Installing the drive, or the driver? When you plug in the drive?
    What connection type are you using? USB (2)? Firewire?
    Are you able to see the drive in Windows? Are you able to read a disk on it?
    What software are you using to burn the CD? What version is it?

    Looking at this page it seems it will only work with WinXP or Win 2000 with SP3.

    So it prob won't work with Win ME.
