My neighbor brought me her desktop for a repair and it had a CD-ROM drive only in it. I wanted to replace it with something more modern and I found the Lite On IHAP422 Lightscribe DVD burner at B & H Photo. It was $20.00 less at B & H than every other store I checked. What an improvement to her computer, which still runs Windows XP, but up to par!

I use this burner to copy cd's and burn photos onto dvd's. This item is extremely slow in both processes. You are wasting your time if you plan on using the Lightscribe feature. I have tried several times and you can barely see the label once it is burned into the disc.

Comments about Lite-On iHAP422 Internal PATA DVD Burner:
Bought this for my ancient but still reliable Dell Dimension 4400, replacing a Pioneer DL burner from 2005. Working on VHS to DVD transfers with both DVD5 & DVD9 Verbatim media. Fast & reliable burns so far with both, no coasters. Very quiet, easy to install, did not need to use the included software drivers as XP w/SP 3 saw it right away. Be sure to set the jumper on back to the proper choice (mimic the prior drive if applicable). I set mine to cable selct as I have another optical drive, no problems at all. Great deal & fast shipping - both the burner & BH Photo highly recommended!

Upon receipt, I popped this drive into the PC slot, connected the cables and booted. The drive was recognized by WIN XP and it worked fine burning both data and lightscribe labels with included NERO 9 software. Use and installation could not get any easier!

The writer-burner has already played a unique role in recovery of the operating system with its reading ability. The unit's color was a perfect case match.Its CD-DVD reading and burning is excellent and an economical tool for LightScribe printing. I recommend this internal unit with 5 stars. No cons.
