HP LightScribe writer not working in Vista Home Premium
Kishor,
I have that same computer and burner (HP) and I just checked again and it still does do Lightscribe with the supplied Creator Basic. So, it probably is not the drivers or Software.

"Kishor M Jadhav" wrote: I have an HP m7660in Media Center PC Vista Home Premium, the LightScribe writer that came with the computer can no longer burn disks, on cd's or dvd's. In device manager it's listed as HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-H30L ATA Device. I have been checking the HP software website for updated drivers but nothing so far. Is this my only option, wait for an updated driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working? Thanks in advance for any help. |

What kind of computer is this and is the drive connected by IDE cable or
SATA? Did the computer come with Vista preinstalled or did you upgrade to Vista from XP? How about some specifics so we can try to help you figure it out? "kdawggydawg" wrote in message ...
