Hard to believe that a CD supplied with a Sony drive is containing viruses. Is it an OEM drive with copied software CD?

It doesn't seem to be pirated ...it looks like the real stuff ... but i too was surprised to see that it was affected by viruses

try out a simple way of writing to DVD,through normal Xp copy and paste function.
Should work for u ... giving you the conclution that the drive is atleast working!

Also try to change the media on which you are writing. I once faced similar problem.

How did you confirm that the CD contains viruses? Did you scan with more than one Antivirus?
