Btw the drive is called "HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B"
You may just need a firmware update - here's one for the hp - 1.10. What software and brands of dvd's have you tried? Burn speed using?
i tried updating firmware already ITs version 1.80: my burn speeds are sooo slow i try all of them and it takes me an Hour to burn 1 DVD
Ok check your transfer mode - all should be set to DMA. Sounds like yours may be set to PIO. Here's a guide
