The burner shouldn't need drivers in XP.
Is there more than one CD/DVD device in that machine ? ?
What are they labeled as on the front ? ?
Who re-installed it for you ?

Sounds like the ribbon cable has come loose...check inside.
As always remove all power sources when working inside the machine and take anti-static precautions.

Just make sure you are grounded. Dont walk across a fluffy carpet in slippers and reach in and grab a stick of RAM for instance...
They sell wrist straps but usually it is enough to be touching the metal chassis with one hand.
