    I just downgraded my Asus F3sv to Windows XP, Following this How-To, but I'm having an issue with my optical drive. If the drive is empty, My Computer dislays it as a DVD-RW, as it should, but whenever I put a DVD in, it displays as a CD-ROM and tells me there's a blank disc in the drive.

    I've tried searching for XP drivers for it, but to no avail. The aforementioned how-to has a link for more drivers, but the post is incorrect, and there's no XP drivers on the ASUS site where the poster said there should be. Plenty of Vista drivers, and even if they were compatible with XP, there's nothing specific for the DVD drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as my file backups are on DVDs, and now I can't access them. :(
