My suggest is uninstall it ,in device manager.By going to
ControlPanel > System > Hardware tab >Device manager
> DvD / Cd-rom drive it will show your sony Cd-rw drive,
then uninstall it. then reboot your system.Your system will automatically look for apropriate driver for you Cd-rw
also check you cable if is properly connected.

there shouldnt be a driver for a burner, burners 99% of the time just "work" you need software to burn however

[nec123]

yes when i install the software the blue screen will come up again can i just use nero to burn without installing the burner cd software?

[unb0und]

yea you should be able to just use nero to burn stuff. the software that came bundled with your burner might be the problem.

thanks alot i guess the software is not made for windows xp

[LEXluthor]

I see ,yeah the problem might be in software.Try using
nero ultra edition. nero 5x is incompatible with windows XP ,coz i try it before.

I been using xp for close to 2 yrs now and have always used Nero ,from 5.5 to ultra 6 with out any problems .

have you ever tried installing IMAGE DRIVE at
NERO 5x on WINDOWS XP Pro. Its unstable, but in
other windows it works fine.
