External DVD Burner w/Lightscribe
I am looking to purchase an external DVD burner w/lightscribe technology.
Tried searching the web to find one compatible with Windows Vista. Can someone recommend where or how do I find compatible burners? TIA.

External DVD Burner w/Lightscribe
Ernie,
Since you're looking for an external drive, it's therefore likely to have either a USB or Firewire interface. Vista supports both standards, so long as you have either of those ports on your system. If not, you can always add those ports. After that standard is met, you only need to be concerned whether the burner software that comes bundled with the burner is Vista compatible. If it isn't, you then can either update it to a compatible version, or purchase a new Vista compatible version. Here is a site that has some external DVD Lightscribe burners: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...n=lit escribe Take care and have a good day. -- freddy "Ernie" wrote: I am looking to purchase an external DVD burner w/lightscribe technology.

External DVD Burner w/Lightscribe
Thanks for the info. Most external dvds that I've seen are usually USB, so I
guess like you say, as long as the software is compatible there should be no problem. "freddy" wrote in message ...
