Help with burning dvd's using external dvd drive please

Does WinXP have some kind of native dvd burning capabilities? My dad brought me an external dvd burner from work, but no software with it. How do I make it burn data for me? All i want is to basically copy/paste some folders (containing video files) to make a data dvd.

well there’s loads of free software you could try google [google]free dvd writing software[/google], or try CDBurnerXP Pro it was my fav when i used XP & it’s [COLOR=“Red”]Free

Does Xp find the drive when connected ? You might need a firmware to connect it first, then just try to find some burning software. There are all kinds out there, if you just do a little looking.

Okay I figured it out. Thanks guys.
