    Go into device manager/cd-dvd rom drives:

    Open up the tree/double click the dvd-rw drive that is at issue/click driver tab/ uninstall drivers to that drive/reboot.

    Not meaning any harm,but did you turn the disc upside down in that hp 740b drive to lightscribe it? I just want to make sure you did, LOL

    Good Luck!
