Sorry for the weird address on the last post, but I'm at work and all
posting functionality was turned off so I used the dreaded Google Group to post. While it's a valid address, I never look at... (I did once, I think it had 2000+ junkmail items in only three days of use  In the meantime, Ifigured out how to get newgroups turned on here. I don't know why I keep thinking you have an external drive. Okay... you don't. Most likely problem: 1. Lightscribe "driver" (utility) Possible fix, run the driver in XP compatibility mode. Check HP website or Google for details. (This is a known Vista issue that is supposedly fixed. Check for updates.) 2. HDD and DVD on same cable. Even if it works okay, the slowest drive sets the pace for both. But, disconnecting the DVD drive for a short period should determine if this is the issue.
