    DVD-RW Drive

    Well im looking to buy a dvdrw drive as i currently only have a CDRW and a DVD-Rom drivers. I have around £40 to spend and maybe £45 max, this is with the delivery and VAT (if scan i can get free delivery). It must preferably have lightscribe as this seems to be a great feature even though i dont really know much about it. Interior aswell.

    Just looking for a few suggestions, if it came with software thatd be great as i dont have any dvd writing software. Doesnt matter if its SATA (i think you get sata drives, dont you?) or SATA2 as my motherboard has 3 free slots. Cables arent neccesary as i have a few spare sata cables from my motherboard an i have a spare PATA cable aswell,i also have the cable that connects to your sound card (what do these actualy do?).

    Anyway thanks vm.


    Needs new monitor / speakers / headphones / keyboard.
    Before that i need money :s

    This seems to meet your requirements, not sure about HP as a make tho - never had one personally but im sure people with post with comments about them. Comes with Nero Software Suite (for DVD authoring, writing, editing and backup) SureThing (for LightScribe labeling) CyberLink® PowerDVD™ (for DVD playback). Plus you should get free delivery on it to, which sweetens the deal (cheers guys )
