Fixing My DVD Burner Its FUBARed

[tattoopunk 0]

So I install Windows 2000 and everythig is running fine right. Well thats what I though untill I noticed that my Dvd Rom wouldn't read DVD's and that My DVD burner wouldnt burn. I went and downloaded the most recent drivers off of HP's website, but when I went to install them, I get this following error.Philips DVD8401 8x DVD+R/RW Drive Firmware UpdateYour system is not configured with this drive.It does not need to be updated.I havent even tried to update the DVD-ROM yet, I am planing on switching to Linux, and just need my burner to work so I can mount and burn my boot disk.Please help, this is an emergency!
