48420	2002-05-12 03:31:00	recently my 7200e started to have a problem with the power cable. As a result I converted it into a 7200i, at the same time I upgraded to XP. Xp reads the drive well however it does not write, XP hardware install wiz shows the device as a DVD/CD-ROM when it installs. I have looked on hp for a 7200i XP driver but without luck. Can someone suggest as solution?	Guest (0)

I know b/c I have one - its working right now on win2k and I trial winXP Pro 8 weeks ago on this same machine and worked without a hitch. WinXP need the writing softwares from HP. Internal on winXP can use winXP s.w win2k can use 3rd party or hp's. note that i had to upgrade my adaptec s.w to run on win2k since the original s.w does not work in win2k. I am now using 4.02e. WinXP would need Adaptec 5 basic or platinum. U will also need to goto the website and get 2 updates .... b4 it will work. www.roxio.com RC	Guest (0)
