Do a google search for the name of your CD / DVD writer. Well, start at Toshiba's site and see if they keep them online. Then do that google search. Did you get a new OS for your laptop? XP 'should' pick it up right.

You actually don't need a 'driver' for it. You just need CD-burning software. Sometimes it's on an 'application' CD that comes with your computer. Or you can just download something like Nero at http://www.nero.com.
