Re: HP DVD writer 840b
The HP customer center does not help in the slightest and since i only had a 12 month warranty it would cost me $45 just for them to 'suggest' ways of fixing the problem.
I tried what Josh said by updating the driver firmware, nothing changed.

Re: HP DVD writer 840b
All I was doing when I realized I had a problem was trying to copy some photo's onto a CD to take to my folks. I have tried all the software I have on this system and I just get errors each time, and I have a new stack of shiny coasters to show for my efforts. At one point, when I opened the drawer, there was this awful grinding noise and then the drive was dead as a doornail to any media I tried in it until I rebooted the system. After that, it was only reading the commercially made stuff again.
Has anyone come up with anything yet, or am I looking at replacing the drive?

Re: HP DVD writer 840b
Up under device you will see your DVD/CD writer listed twice. Once with (DVD) and once with (CD).
So if you remember to manually flip flop from CD to DVD or vice versa -- things might work.
Not sure if buying the full version of Nero "fixes" the behavior to where the user is not responsible for setting the device to the right media type. Really funny when the Nero utility for media information is integrated. Several times with generic unlabeled media I could not tell which media I had left on the desktop until I used the utility.
But I can tell you that if you have a DVD-R in the drive it will not work if the drive mode is set to CD.
I have not figured out why I cannot write DVD-RW though. Could be I just got offbeat media though.
