you'd have to go and buy a dvd burner seperately and install it, u won't be able to do anything to ur current cd burner to make it burn dvds.

heres some dvd burners

im not sure if the xps200 has sata or not, if u don't know i'd go with an ide drive just to be safe and it'll come with all the software u need to get it going.

I think LG was one of the first companies to introduce a 22x DVD burner to the market. Try GH22LP20 ...it works good.
