I got a Transcend DVD RW external device connected by USB, model TS8XDVDRW-K.  Installs fine under Windows 7 but problem with XP, says the driver is missing or corrupted.  I already tried deleting the hardware from the control panel, then plugging it back in.  It sees that there is new hardware and searches for a while, then ends up again with the driver missing or corrupted (missing, I think, not corrupted).  Any ideas how to fix?
