I have an HP dvd writer dvd200e that I have been using with no problem on my
old Presario Notebook. I just bought a new Presario notebook to replace the
old one and did a wipe and fresh install of WinXP Pro. When I plug in the
DVD Writer it is recognixed as a 'dvd/cd-rw drive' and I can read CD's and
DVD's no problem. As soon as I insert a blank DVD+R (from a known good
stack) the icon is immediately replaced with 'CD-Drive' and if I double
click on the icon I get a error message 'e:\ not accessable - incorrect
function'.

I think in the past the icon on the system was 'DVD-RW'. HP has no specific
drivers for this burner as it is natively supported in windows.

The drive is both firewire and USB 2.0 - either way i connect it it responds
the same way.

I am running Win XP Pro - SP1a with all patches.

TIA
