I had a DVD player with the LightScribe capability in the HP I'm using now. I got another DVD and used it to replace a CD player that was also in the machine. I made sure to avoid the LightScribe software--one is enough. Lightscribe doesn't play nicely with some of the DVD features. I can't remember what I was trying to do that it kept messing up, it has been a while, but I wouldn't go out of my way looking for it. I'm with Tim--Sharpie makes a CD/DVD marker that is supposed to not compromise the disk over time.

Laurel, you need to go into your computer system and look at the device settings and set the permissions so that the internal drive is fully used.
