========== Normally the drive will be HP branded. Now I'm not sure if they make their own or not, but you can purchase HP Lightscribe drives in the stores. About the only thing that comes to mine right away is the BIOS setting is off. It doesn't sound like it's set to see the DVD first. But I'll assume you have already checked that? Is the DVD SATA as well as the hard drive? If not, but an ATA, then be sure it's connected to the right plug on the cable, set to master on the second channel. That's all I can suggest at the moment. What strange new things are they doing with drives at HP? ;-) Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
