    Post CDRW change over

    Hewlett Packard CD-Writer Plus 8200 Series. It reads fine, but wont write. Can I change it with any other IDE burner. It connects with USB and sits in a external case. What do you think?

    I was able to do this with a USB QUE! drive i got from a friend because it didn't work. I also found I could put any IDE device in the enclosure, install the USB driver and it would work. I've had Hard drives, Zip drives and even a DVD function in the enclosure. I would imagine you would too, but there's only one way to make sure..........

    Just remember the standard disclaimer, you will void any manufacturer warranty when you do this.

    As a last resort, you may want to call HP technical support ::shudder::.

    Depending on how long ago you got it HP may just replace it for you. Sometimes even the retailer who sold it will take it back under the manufactuers warranty.
