| For some reason only my Apex dvd players is able to read the dvd's i burn, Other players will play it but towards the end or middle the picture goes out like if your watching a satelite and their is a storm about. Anyone have this issue? Im using the FUJI 4x DVD+R Comments posted by Mr_Alias_007 from United States, September 20, 2004. Rated this writer 4 of 10. |

| Bought this drive from the exchange on our Navy Base. Bought a 5 pack of disks as well. Went through the HP disk and 3 other 5 with continuous problems. 1/2 way or so (various points in different burns) I would get an error and insert another disk to try again. I used various programs from the Record Now sofware included and Nero. Never once was I able to burn a single disk. I then decided to try to work with the RW Disk. I could not get this to work either, nor format. It would do an approx 4 second countdown (normally) while formatting but when at 100% it would just sit there. I came back the next day and the timer was at 14hours to do the "quick format"... this happened REPEATEDLY.. and on 3 different computers. I brought the drive back for a refund, went to BestBuy and bought a Sony DRX-510UL. I have successfully burned 7 disks without a failure using the same 3 computers. The Sony costs more but I LOVE it, and would not bother to even use the HP for a paperweight. Comments posted by Sedrek from Other, October 09, 2003. Rated this writer 1 of 10. |

| I have been trying to get this running for 3 days. I get halfway through the burn process and it ejects the dvd. I have downloaded all the software updates available. My computer meets all the requirements. I've tried the cd's that came with it and also memorex dvd+r's. I have also uninstalled other burning software. I am taking this back and exchanging it.

| There is definitely an issue between copytodvd 2.2 and the 300e. I have used copytodvd 2.1 and not seen the issue with that revision. If you go to the copytodvd website, they appear to have a fix in revision 2.2.7 and can also put you in touch with HP in order to recover your drive if it is currently experiencing the blinking light issue.

| Atfer installing my HP DVD300e my computer will not shutdown, it restart's everytime I try to shutdown. I uninstalled the HP DVD3000e and my computer shutsdown with no problems, I exchanged it for a new one,had the same problem although I am very pleased with the product it works very well, but has a software problem, as as soon as I install the software I have problems with shutdown.

| I hooked it up 2 months ago via firewire and have had no problems at all. I have copied dozens of discs to date without the "flashing green" error reported by others. I use software that came with it for copying, but I use Dazzle DVD Complete to compose and burn original discs. Again, no problems. I have been using various media brands when I burn CDR, CDRW, DVD+R, DVD+WR without a single coaster. I'm VERY pleased and give it a 10. Comments posted by Cheepnis from Other, August 12, 2003.

| I ALSO HAVE HAD THE LIGHT FLASHING AND DOOR NOT OPENING PROBLEM AFTER USING COPY TO DVD. I WOULD RATE THE 300e BUT I REALLY HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE TO TEST IT. Comments posted by mv from Other, August 08, 2003. Rated this writer No rating. |

| I have had this for a little over a week and no complaints yet. It burns a disc image on a 4x disc in 15 minutes and the same image on a 2.4x disc in ~22 minutes. No complaints yet on the media, it's accepted the fujifilm 2.4X's and Memorex 4x's (both off the shelf) without a free coaster yet. I've got some Riteks that I'll get next week in the mail to try out and some 4x verbatims that I'm going to try next. Overall no complaints, runs great on my laptop!

| I got my new 300e in early june used it for couple of days and that the player started to flash. My HP300e DVD was given to HP lab in Israel for a repair. I got it back last Thursday July 3, 03. Have used the DVD for couple of burning jobs. All of a sudden the green light on the player continues to flash, and I cannot get it open. It happened after trying to burn a copy with CopytoDVD. So far I am not pleased with the product. Avi Comments posted by Avi Ron from Other, July 07, 2003. Rated this writer 5 of 10. |

| I got this from OfficeMax 3 weeks ago. Everything was great until this past week. Everything I try to burn results in either "Disc write Failure" or "Not enough storage space on disc, try another" error messages. I've used the Arcsoft that came with the drive, InstantDVD, and Ulead movie factory to try and burn. Nothing works, every disc gives the same error. Everything I've tried to burn has been less than 3.5 GB. Even tried to burn a 1GB file. Nothing. Same error message. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same thing. I'm packing it up to return tomorrow. Comments posted by nickerous from Other, June 21, 2003. Rated this writer No rating. |

| I just picked up one of these at Office Max, they had them on special for $249 plus a $70 Office MAx Gift Card. I'll use the card to buy media. So far, it's a great addition to my laptop. Comments posted by Larry Day from Other, June 04, 2003. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |

| I have this,and it is great had no problems installing, everything went very easy and fast,just hooked up the firewire and retarted the computer and all was done. I too don't like some of the software that comes with it,but you can't expect the best to come bundled with things. I do like the Power DVD player it is very nice. My rating of 9 is based on the fact that I have only had the HP DVD 300e for a couple of weeks and that is not enough time of use to say that it is a 10,but every thing seem superb with it so far.

| Have this one at work. Tried several disks, Imation and Phillips dvd+r. All went ok, data and dvd movie dubs. Played also on my Pioneer DV454 home player without any problems. And the best part is ITS A EXTERNAL RECORDER! So pop in a USB2.0 or Firewire card and your going... I will report it as a 9, because i don't like the software that came with it. Use Stomp record now max instead. Comments posted by Jan Willem from Other, March 20, 2003. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |
