hope you don't need hp support.......2007-01-09

HP support should be called non-support. I have bought a lot of HP products in the past but have always been lucky enough to have them all hold up through the warranty period until now. Bought a Pavilion Media Center PC with lightscribe and less than 5 months later the lightscribe dvd died. Do they get me a replacement or just the run around? You got it....the run around. I will never and I advise everyone else not to buy from HP until they can prove to stand by their warranties.

It's so nice to make your own Factory Like CD & DVDs Cover !

While the final shape is not so sharp

But it is really very nice to have this stuff

I bought the external version of this drive, and it was great... for a month. Support, or lack of it, is done by Lite-on. Look else where.

Worst Drive I have ever used.......2006-09-06

This is the worst hard drive I have ever used. I purchesed one, just to return it right away for not being able to read cd's (took me 12 tries to just to get it to download my motherboard drivers off the cd!), I then payed for another one and within 8 DVD burns and 18 lightscribe burns it stopped working completely! This drive would only burn using Nero Burning software and nothing else.
I would NOT recommend this drive to anybody!

Avoid this junk.......2006-06-21

Mine made 2 DVDs and 0 out of 10 attempts to burn a
Audio CD. It runs horrendously warm and if you tryed
to use light scribe right after burning the DVD it
gave a "internal error" error.

Then it started giving "Track Following Errors" and wouldn't
read or write a CD/DVD, home made or commercial.

So I took it back to Best Buy. They no longer carried the 740i
so I said what the hey, I'll get the 840i

Well so far it will read and burn a disk, but if you
don't wait at least 5 minutes after burning a disk
and try to burn a light scribe image it over heats
and gives the same "Internal error" message...

HP needs to resolve this issue.....
