Just got my first Blu Ray Re-Writer, and fitted it to my WXP p4 system last night, but WXP does not seem to recognise a Blu Ray disc when inserted,
Do I need to install some drivers or other stuff to make it read Blu ray?
Have installed AnyDVD HD and that seems to be ok with a Blu ray disc,
Thought WXP would install correct drivers automatically at a normal update,
Can anyone help pls?

No luck,
found it, downloaded and tried to install,
but get this message:-
"It is not possible to install it in this PC"
I have a Pioneer blu ray drive and a non Toshiba PC

What does google say about?
You're not the first person trying to use Bluray drives under XP (10 years old OS), the solution is known and easily to find.

No need to read the whole 775000 results, just the very first 3 of them, if one is not really enough (http://www.google.com/search?q=xp+bluray+udf+driver) :)
