Whatever software you used on your daughter's PC to format that disk, you
will need that same program on your PC to view, or do the same tasks.
Drag-n-Drop is not part of XP (never has been), and only third party
programs do that (ie Drag-n-Drop is the name of a packet writing function
that is part of the newer CDR(W)/DVD writing softwares from Roxio).
