For XP there are no such drivers to remove or install. XP supplies the right ones.
There is an issue where the drive vanishes and your delete the UPPERFILTERS LOWERFILTERS in the registry, but given your post I can't tell if that applies to your machine.

im running xp..when i go in to my device manager then properties.it says ..DVD/CD-ROM drives.but its not it a dvdrw..then then i look in my drivesit says..c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdromsys..its the same for my dvd rom..can you help
That's the real test. If you have a CD/DVD burning program, does it recognize the drive(s) correctly? If it does, don't worry about it. If not, then you have cause for concern.
It's a nutty thing but what's most important is that Nero or what you use, works.
Cosmetic details are something I let others play with.

copying dvd not good if i can but the write drives in it with luck..it will work it work okay before
Aside from a very select exceptions, optical drives don't really have drivers. Pretty much everything works via the ATAPI interface common to all of them.
It's possible that the drive name you're seeing show up in Windows isn't what is on the package, but that doesn't mean anything. There's only about 3-4 companies that actually make the drives themselves, and they just have branding deals with all the other companies to slap that company's logo on the front and put them into boxes with that company's name on it.
So unless you've got some other reason for thinking they're the wrong drivers, I wouldn't worry about it.
