Pretty good, No complaints.

I did have a problem getting it to work on my computer "Compaq 6000" i'd get the error, "I/O device error when trying to use your CD or DVD drive"
This wasn't a problem with the HP dvd burner but with my systems settings. I know this because i returned a LG dvd burner because of the same exact error message. I thought the LG was bad and got this HP 1040i.
If this happens to you just Google, "I/O device error when trying to use your CD or DVD drive" and you'll see how to change your settings.
The HP DVD burner works really well and i've made several back up copies of some of my DVD's. It' comes with Nero software which i really hate, thus i found a great program called DVDfab that does it really good.
I advise using quality blank DVD's because cheapies don't work well. I couldn't get the Dynex Brand dvd to work in it and thats the only time it failed was with that brand. Verbatim is pretty good though.
The LightScribe is really cool and makes nice templates and professional looking labels.
2 weeks of ownership and i'm happy with it and the price here is good.

HP DVD Burner with Lightscribe

I purchased this HP DVD Burner with Lightscribe to replace an old DVD burner which died. I purchased it because of the HP brand name. The unit which is an IDE connection was easy to install and works well. The lightscribe capability is great, although it only currently prints in black and white only. The Neuro 7 program is huge and a bit cumbersome so I purchased another lightscribe program to use.

This product has proven to be all that other rave reviews described. It works perfectly. I have not used the lightscribe feature but all else works great.
