E:\ Drive Error

You probably just need the XP ATAPI drivers. I cant find the actual file, but to my knowledge XP did release it in a XP Update.
Open up IE, go to Tools, then Windows Update.
All the critical updates are pre-selected so you're okay there, now go to Drivers and download any CD-ROM drivers it has on there. Everything on there is pertaining to your specific pc, so you wont download something that is for something you dont have.
