Advantages: Copies CD’s as it should

Disadvantages: Major minus---Does not recognise 80min CD’s...

Apart from being on the 3rd replacement of this drive I am quite pleased with the HP –CD-RW 8200 series that I have. I am on the 3rd replacement due to software problems as highlighted in my opinion in--soon ‘’’Home > Computers > Software > CD/DVD Recorder Software > Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0’’’
The drive that I have is very good at doing what it is supposed to do---and if you ever have any problems with doing certain things with your CD’s it most probably the software your using not the hardware.
The major minus point that I have found to be with HP CD-Drives is that they do not support 80min CD’s-by this I don’t mean that they don’t make their own 80min CD’s but that their drives do not recognise 80min CD’s which I am very annoyed about.
You would have thought that the market leader in the CD-RW drives section being HP in my eyes would have done some research into this and actually worked on their drives to come up with a solution.
I found this out when iobutht some 80min CD’s but the drive only recognises them as 74min ones which is not very good when I am trying to copy CD’s that are 78min etc etc
