Hi,

I recently bought a new HP Pavilion a1220n Pentium 4 Computer with a HP DVD
Writer 740b Lightscribe drive. It advertizes that it is an 8x writer. I
have 4X dvd blanks and it will only write at 1.3x speed. Even the CD writer
only writes at about 9X speed. I use Sony 1-8X dvd blanks and TDK 4x dvd
blanks. I use Phillips CD blanks. Is there something that I can do.

Thanks

Look for updated firmware for the drive.
