You will probably have to install Service pack 2 to overcome this problem, which you should install for security reasons anyway. If a driver came with the DVD writer, this should generally be installed first, then the writer connected into a USB port.

Did you install the software first? Sometimes If you jump the gun and install the drive before the software it will not recognize it...
Try updating the driver here:

SOURCE: DVD plays in DVD player is not seen at all by Windows XP
Hi,it's obvious from your problem that the particular disc that cannot be viewed on your computer is of a formatt not supported by the windows XP.some DVDs are of low quality which can be viewed practically on any DVD player but as a result of their low quality and the sensitivity of the Windows they are not recognized by your computer.
In as much as other DVDS play on your computer,it means there's no problem with your computer,but an unsupported disc formatt is been trying to be viewed and there's nothing you can do to view a DVD formatt not supported by your computer.please don't be bothered.
Thanks and take care

Are you sure that your ROM can't play the disc or is it that you don't have a program to play the disc? To my knowledge Windows XP didn't come packaged with a DVD Decoder program; except for XP Media Center. There are some FreeWare programs out there that you can download, or you can pay for the program that decodes DVDs so that you can watch them. If your DVD isn't recognizing any type of DVD that you put into the ROM, then try playing a CD\DVD player cleaning disc in it. If that doesn't work, then you will probably have to get another DVD-ROM.
VOILA! Both my laptop and my desktop PC recognized the LG BD burner again and assigned it a drive letter (like it used to do).

Thanks Naveen. I tried your solution, but no luck still. I've contacted LG support and they recommend trying new usb cables as a final option to the problem. I think I'll give that a shot. Thanks again!
