Yes, I am using it successfully with CDBurnerXP and the software you can download from lightscribe.com, LS Simple Labeler and LS Template Labeler. This is also one of the only internal DVD-RW drives I could recently find still in stock and available that has Lightscribe.

The only machines that I would think that might have an issue would be the Apple machines, but, I suspect that they, too, would not have a problem. Being a USB device makes it, virtually, universal in application. I'm using one in conjunction to the unit installed in my HP laptop, which is also Lightscribe. You will of course need to obtain the Lightscribe software, if you don't already have it, in order to utilize the Lightscribe function. You can obtain it at various sites for downloading. The old Lightscribe.com site is no longer in use, but, the software (most of it) is still available, and updated, from various other sites.

The Pawtec website provides third-party drivers for lightscribe to be used with Pawtec products (google: lightscribe download pawtec). I have not used lightscribe so I cannot comment on how well these drivers work. Good luck.

It is a nice external drive, I bought it mainly for the LightScribe feature but the Drivers for Windows 8.1 aren't ready yet.

I am not sure if I understand but LightScribe is no longer supported and it may be a discounted item.

Works great with Win 8, have not downloaded any software to utilize the Lightscribe on Win 8, but did on Windows 7. Great portable multi-function drive, with LightScribe ability.. I do like flipping the diskover and creating a custom disk label.

Hi Leon: I can't remember if software came with this drive for litscribe. If it does, you should be able to use it for that. If it didn't, the answer would be "No." It would not have that ability. Just to keep in mind, if you have a drive that will inscribe, on a disc it doesn't matter if it is a CD or DVD....as long as it has the printable surface required for Litscribe. Thanks for asking

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.)

"LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology, created by the Hewlett-Packard Company, that uses specially coated recordable CD and DVD media to produce laser-etched labels with text or graphics, as opposed to stick-on labels and printable discs." The DVD/CD writer has to be lightscribe capable. I have not tried it with this technology/feature, and I do not think that it's capable of doing it. Normally when the DVS/CD writer has this feature, it would be written on the drive bay.

HP apparently abandoned support for LightScribe some time ago. I used CyberLink LabelPrint 2.5 which has a Lightscribe option and everything worked fine with the drive.

Unfortunately not. This is the iHAS124 model, which does not support lightscribe. I've listed the other models in this series to give you an idea of what each model does: LiteOn iHAS124 - A basic, no frills burner LiteOn iHAS224 - LightScribe LiteOn iHAS324 - Smart Erase LiteOn iHAS424 - LightScribe & Smart Erase LiteOn iHAS524 - Smart Erase & LabelTag LiteOn iHAS624 - LightScribe, Smart Erase & LabelTag Hope that helps!

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.

Hi, Holly,Well, it's supposed to have the Lightscribe capacity. But I've never managed to burn more than have a disk label, so I wouldn't buy this counting on using that. Too bad, I miss having it. Working fine on my old LaCie DVD burner. If you manage to get it going I have a pack of 50 Lightscribe disks to sell-cheap.Also be aware it wants two USB ports.Cheryl

Both. You can also burn lightscribe images as well. I've been happy with it.

You can buy external or internal lightscribes on Amazon. Good luck. I love mine. I make my own mixed CD s and design labels for them.

From my research before ordering, it appears that the "v1" model of this drive had Lightscribe capability, while "v2" does not. There are a lot of complaints on various sellers websites from the transition period when folks ordered based on "v1" product descriptions and received "v2" drives.I ordered and received a "v2" drive, and it does not have any reference to Lightscribe anywhere on the box or case or in the manual. So, no; it does not currently have Lightscribe.
