Customer Reviews of Hewlett Packard DVD300i 4x2.4x8 Internal IDE DVD+RW Drive
Full of Troubles I wish I have some good things to say about my experience with this drive...
I got this drive two months ago and am still having problems with it. First of all, the software "RecordNow" is a very limiting wizard-like, step-by-step process. Come on... At some point, your users will grow out of the "novice" stage, right? Why not give us a drag-and-drop GUI for users who know what they are doing? Like in Nero Ahead. This drive automatically "fixiate" my dvd-r disc when I was trying it out... How frustrating! I never had this problem with Nero software before!
Secondly, the DLA software would not install side-by-side with Roxio. Unfortunately, Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9 automatically install Roxio and it is very very difficult to uninstall Roxio. I Googled. I need to get a different burning-ware that will work with this drive.
Lastly, the DLA provided is not compatible with Nero's DLA. And frankly, this drive is a little slow in recognizing a disc when you insert a dvd+rw or cd-rw disc.
I am very frustrated with this HP drive...
doesn't work with any other software
Nero, Gear, Deepburner or Roxio....
none of them work with this drive. The included software is terrible. I get a "There is a firmware update on the net for this drive, connect now?" Message a few minutes after booting up the drive. There are no firmware updates for this drive. The great thing is when it checks the drive it blows up any burn you are in the middle of and kills a disk. Tech support never got back to me.
I am never going to by an HP burner ever again, on the topic of HP drives, all of our HP DVD200 drives at work failed, were replaced under warranty and then failed again out of warranty.
Would rather have purchased something else
I've had nothing but problems with this drive. i've been unable to make back-up copies of DVDs & CDs because it will not let me through the copyright protection from the movies or music disc. Has anyone else had this problem & if so please tell me how you corrected it or if i'm stuck with it?
