Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP 20x External Super Multi DVD (Lightscribe) HP1040E
Customer Review: Great Multi burner
Summary: 5 Stars
The HP 20x External Multiformat DVD Writer is a simple to use burner. The multiformat is perfect for any cd you buy. The ability to have "LightScribe" lets you etch designs on the cd/dvd itself (with the proper "LightScribe" cd). Just make sure you flip/put the disc "upside down" before the burner etches the disc (there is only one lens). Other than that, the only problem with "LightScribe" is finding it in many local stores and most of the stores who do carry it, carry only the cd-r/rw version (not the dvd). As for the "Nero 7 Essentials" program, that to is easy to navigate. Large icons with highlited hints generally explain each function on the options you chose. What I found annoying was the constant "upgrade" pop up when you first use each format option. Also, the "Nero 7 Essentials" repeat certain functions that you won't need to download to make the burner work. The basic functions are:
1. Data transfer
2. Creating music cd
3. Video transfer
4. Copy disc
The "Nero Express Essentials" does all that so you don't need to install all those desktop short cuts and quick launch for each function (just uncheck them). Unfortunately, you must install everything. During installation, make sure you don't just click next on everything or the "Nero" program will convert your entire computer to run on its program (videos, pictures, etc). Follow the installation carefully and click on all the options (that opens another window) so you may "uncheck" the functions that will make the "Nero" program the default on your computer. Over all, I had no problems installing the program because in anticipation of this product, I uninstalled my former burner.
