does lightscribe burn all information onto the CD or DVD

Lightscribe is just an image printing onto the disc - you need to use lightscribe enabled disc to do the image - try going to www.lightscribe.com to get a better idea of what lightscribe means - this unit does burn both CD and DVD media -

I bought the product for a friend whose computer's cd/dvd player was not working. My friend had already an external CD player, so he uses the LG Super Slim just to play DVDs.

You can install a lightscribe in any desktop. You just have to make sure that the interface is the same. In this case it's a SATA. You can also get an external lightscribe. I installed an LG blueray burner in mine, not so much for playback but rather for optical storage. So now I have the original DVD drive plus the Blueray. Incidentally the cable is already in the tower. You just have to plug it in to the optical drive after you install it.

Yes! All DVD writer drives can also write to CDs, at least all the non-specialized ones. I've used this computer for a little over a year and I have burned many a CD with it.

I installed one on a Windows Vista Home Premium machine that had an LG DVD reader/burner with Lightscribe. The client was not using the Lightscribe capability. The device worked perfectly, had it installed and running in about 10 minutes. The most important thing to remember is that you must connect power to both the CD/DVD drive AND the interface or it will NOT work.

It will burn the media onto the disc, but it won't burn the images on the light scribe portion. Hope that helps.

1) you need lightscribe discs, specially formulated/treated to burn print onto the disc2) like the other person said you need to place that disc upside down as in data side up/print side facing the floor-facing the laser to burn/print into the formulated disc, while having the Lightscribe label program open and layed out with the design and text you want on the disc.

Yes it does come with Lightscribe which works. I have burned a few DVDs and they came out quite nice. You will need the following information: After loading it into your computer, Click on Start. Scroll down to "NTI Media Maker 8". Click on that and then scroll down to "Jewel Case Maker". Click on "OK" re Regular, provided you are using a standard DVD. Then click on "Help Topics" under "Help". There you will find how to do what. Or, you can do as I did initially which was played around with "File", Edit", etc.

On my Win7Pro machine, Windows did not recognize this as a LightScribe device. (And it is even an HP computer.) But, from the CD that came with the device, I loaded the drivers/Nero application and all is good. (I may have upgraded to newer versions of those, but I don't think so.)

I couldn't say. The lightscribe is useless because nobody makes lightscribe blu-ray media. And the software is awful. I'm using it and have figured out workarounds for the worst issues, but I would strongly recommend against buying one.

I have never used Lightscribe, but I think that it requires a special coating on the disc. Taiyo Yuden has such a disc type, usually slightly more expensive.

It's supposed to but I've only burned a data and JPEG cd so far. I haven't tried a DVD or music yet.

I wish I could answer this for you, I purchased as a gift for my mother. She can barely plug it in and insert an existing CD. Haven't used lightscribe with it, but would be cool if it could.

Yes it works well with lightscribe but depending on the a art work you choose to burn, it can be time consuming. I have Windows 7 so this drive was plug and play. I prefer HP cds and dvds.

I have not had any problem with these discs. Is you light scribe software and drive up to date?

Also firmware Rev A for the one I purchased. Lightscribe.com no longer has the downloads for Lightscribe system software, Lightscribe Simple Labeller and Lightscribe Template Labeller, however Pawtec.com has still has them all for download on their site at http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/

We purchased this for a client and it did not come with software. I would hazard that you will just get the drive itself. Hope this is helpful: thepiratebay.org search "lightscribe" one of those will do the trick the title "LightScribe_Software " seems to be legit and works fine on my test system.
