Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008HP LightScribe writer not working in Vista Home Premium
I have an HP a1440n Media Center PC, just upgraded to Vista Home Premium, the LightScribe writer that came with the computer can no longer burn disks, on cd's or dvd's. In device manager it's listed as HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-H21L ATA Device. I have been checking the HP software website for updated drivers but nothing so far. Is this my only option, wait for an updated driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working? Thanks in advance for any help. > I have an HP a1440n Media Center PC, just upgraded to Vista Home Premium, > the LightScribe writer that came with the computer can no longer burn disks, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working? Thanks in > advance for any help. I had the same problem. MS was no help. Doing a Google search I found out in vista for optical drives you need to change the jumpers to either Master or Slave. Cable select does not work. I found this out after making 10 coasters. > I have an HP a1440n Media Center PC, just upgraded to Vista Home Premium, > the LightScribe writer that came with the computer can no longer burn disks, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working?

Should it be set to slave? Thanks >I had the same problem. MS was no help.

Hello I just purchased a HP PAVILLION a1723w and it has VISTA and lightscribe cd/dvdrrw installed already and I installed my lite-on cd/dvdrrw drive and it was working fine and then all of a sudden I turned computer on and was going to burn a disc and now neither drive is working and in device manager it says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" and I have done all I know to do to fix the problem. I have one set as master and other as slave already. So if anyone can help me with this I appreciate it. I will have this computer for one week March 01,2007. And it is already giving me problems!!!!!!!!!

No, you would not; so why do the same with the computer?  SignatureRichard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@gmail.com * NEW!

SignatureMike Hall MS MVP Windows Shell/User http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/ I had the same problem (error 39) - DVD writer working fine yesterday at shutdown, this morning error and driver not loading. Used HP's chat line and the procedure the tech gave me was essentially the same you reference in the kb/320553 article. After restart, the DVD writer was working again. > Try the procedures on this website.. > [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] >>> >> driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working?

I had the same issue, I just recently purchased a new DVD writer and it came with Nero 6.6 you need to upgrade to version 7.0 , I was able to upgrade for $55 I had to upgrade thru my laptop then burn a copy and install it on my Vista desktop. >I have an HP a1440n Media Center PC, just upgraded to Vista Home Premium, >the LightScribe writer that came with the computer can no longer burn [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >updated driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working?

Thanks in > advance for any help. Kishor, I have that same computer and burner (HP) and I just checked again and it still does do Lightscribe with the supplied Creator Basic. So, it probably is not the drivers or Software. Mike > "Kishor M Jadhav" wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> driver, or is there anything I can do to get this working?

Signaturekdawggydawg What kind of computer is this and is the drive connected by IDE cable or SATA? Did the computer come with Vista preinstalled or did you upgrade to Vista from XP?
