Default Internal DVD burner in external case

Hi

I recently bought an NEC ND3500A dual layer DVD burner. I thought it would be smart to put it in an external Firewire case, so I could swap it from PC to Mac. However, on the PC, WinXP only recognises it as "Generic 1394 USB Combo IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device". This may be OK (haven't really put it through its paces yet), but I'm concerned that I won't get the full benefits without the specific driver. It was an OEM version. didn't come with any driver software, just Nero 6 OEM Suite. Any suggestions? Do I need to install it internally to get Windows to load the correct driver?
