    Does anyone have Lite-On external dvd drive Model eZAU120-08 (black)? The specifications say it "works with Windows vista". Doesn't mention XP. Could it not work XP?

    There shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work with XP. Its probably saying that its compatible with windows vista. But is most likely compatible with XP as well.

    I've got a Lite-on - model LH-20A1PX - that works with XP, but it's different...

    Thanks. Yes maybe it means to emphasize that beside the older OS, it works with Vista, too. I just ordered one to be used with my Thinkpad x61s. Hope it's good :)
