I have the same CD and it worked great under W98SE.  Then, I installed
XP  (upgrade) and I get a message telling me to insert a disc even
when one is in the drive. (mind you, this is the same drive that I
used to install XP in the first place).   XP says that the drive is
installed properly. Today, I formated hard drive and did a clean
install of XP and wound up in the same place

MS Support says I need to get a Creative XP driver but Creative says
they have no plans to issue such a driver since the drive uses the
basic CD driver......

Anyone fix this?   Who actually mfrs the drive for Creative?  maybe
they have a driver out......
