XP has no native ability to write to DVDs.

No! XP only supports CD burning natively. Nero or Roxio would make it
possible and you might be able to find a freebie on sourceforge. net or
similar.

No! XP only supports CD burning natively. It needs to be turned on in the
drives properties. Nero or Roxio would make it possible and you might be
able to find a freebie on sourceforge. net or
similar.

What do you mean by "mini DVD drive" ? Mini DVD can be a CD video disc. but
it's still a CD disc but needs to be authored . Suppose it's possible
someone made a DVD drive that only uses small discs but I'm unaware of any.

By the way a disk is a floppy or hard drive platter. CDs and DVDs are discs.
Not nit picking it just helps to keep things clear.

Supported by what?

Windows XP?
Your particular drive?
The company that created it?
