On the issue of using WinXP. Did this burner work before you installed XP? XP needs ASPI layers installed. Search the 'net for "ForceASPI 1.7". It's ASPI layer for XP and Win2K. Might be your trouble.

p.s. This comes to mind since you mentioned a "fresh" install of XP. Burners just don't seem to work without loading an ASPI first. Try it.
