Ahem, mumble, mumble.... I do recall getting a driver disk with the
enclosure but none with the 3550a, but *if* I remember correctly, XP
SP1, at the time, loaded the driver I referenced when I first connected
the enclosure with drive in it via USB. I then used the iLink (4
conductor, unpowered Firewire) connection without any difficulty.
What might be going on is that XP 'sees' the enclosure first and you
already had a removable hard drive associated with it. You might
reconnect the enclosure with DVD drive and uninstall all of the
references to it as a removable drive in Device Manager, shut down,
disconnect the drive, reboot, and then see if XP finds the enclosure
with the correct driver. [I think my recollection is correct since I've
used the external drive on I think four XP computers without any
difficulty in burning single-layer DVDs.]
