does the dvd drive read /play dvd-software discs or dvd-videos? If it does it's okay.
Windows ME normally reports a dvd drive as a cd drive. As for drivers, Windows uses it's own drivers for cd/dvd drives. Drive-manufacturers stopped making their own device drivers years ago when Windows 95 was discontinued. Drives no longer need third-party drivers --- they are manufactured to a common standard and they all work with the same microsoft driver.
