We want this to burn CDs on an HP Pavillion a1206n using Windows XP. Will this work for that purpose?

Don't think that will be a problem. Just need some software like Roxio that's compatible with XP to burn to a CD or DVD.

I see no reason it would not work. I have not tried it, but with a program like NERO, one that I use, and XP Professional, there should be no problem My computer is an HP with XP Professional.

Ya it will work I've been burning CDs and DVDs since I got it it works really good

Don't know about that, Ann. I'm a Mac user. I assume "yea" if your HP Pavilion is USB, there are two different adapters in the packaging.

Yes it will work just fine. I just tried it on my old Windows XP machine. After you plug it in, give it a couple of minutes to download the driver and recognize the drive.

You will need to install drivers for XP. Go to the website and find the correct driver. Once it is set up, the device works very well.

As long as your computer uses SATA connections it should be compatible. It says it burns at 24 X speed. It does not have lightscribe which allows you to print labels directly to the CD/DVD, using discs that are made for lightscribe. As I said in my review I found this drive to be extremely noisy and was not impressed at all with it. You might want to consider another drive. Any cd/dvd with a sata connection should work, and if you're not using the lightscribe why pay extra for it.

I haven't tried this on an Hewlett Packard, but I suspect it will work just fine. I've used it on Dell, Compaq and eMachines with no problem whatsoever. Just check to make sure you have a port available in your PC before you order it. This is a great product! I was amazed at how well it works. I still have mine from a few years ago and when I get rid of each PC I've installed it into, I always remove it so I can use it in my next machine. I always use the ports on this unit before the factory usb ports because it seems to always work a bit faster. I hope this info helps. - Brian :)

I checked with the manufacturer about the same thing. You must use the computer and then burn the CD from there. No really a bad process though.

Yes. However, you may need to download the driver from HP. I'm using driver version 6.1.76 which works fine in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Yes, you just have to run it in compatibility mode for windows xp (or 98, I forget how I did it)

From the information I read regarding your HP computer it should work fine. However, you might need to update your existing software, or you can use the Nero software included with the drive. Thanks, Mike

Since I bought my laptop I hardly ever use it but I believe it is a readable/writable CD/DVD, so it can burn either. I have used it to make CD's but not DVD's.

Windows XP? What is that? (lol) I have no idea. It would be best to look the printer up on the HP website and read the requirements.

Yes. It worked on my Win 7 laptop. It failed to work on my older HP Compaq nc6230. Could not obtain a driver.

Yes, I have used it on my hp with windows 7. I am disappointed in how well it worked, it didn't created individual song files. I will be trying it with starting and stopping it after each song. Also it should have included some sort of music software to improve the transfers.

I used it before on XP and 2000. Now on Vista Home Basic, I am having problems - it does not support scan to PDF and HP support is useless to troubleshoot.

It should work on an HP. It just replaces your cd drive and your computer treats the new hard drive you install in the caddy like any other expandable memory plugged into it

Far as I know it will, as I was using it on an XP. May need a little bit of patience for it to get started.
