If Roxio is installed, it could be interferring with XP's native burning.
Have you tried to update the Roxio software? Eventhough its is a bundled
version, you should still be able to update it (within the same level of
software.)
I would check with the drive's maker and see if there is:
1) Updated drivers
2) An info/FAQs about your question.
If you still have not found any solution, try www.rpc1.org. This web forum
deals mainly with burners and especially DVD drives.
