Lightscribe I need to know whether these 2 products are lightscribe compatible only i've tried looking on the net and couldn't find the answer. Hopefully you can help. The products are:- OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A, and, LITE-ON CD RW SOHR-5238S. Thanks for taking time to help me, it is much appreciated.

Your local Nissan dealer will have the fuse ou need. Im not sure why the auto parts store couldn't help. Did you try a NAPA?

I as well couldn't find Windows Seven 64 bit specific drivers. But under Whit's in the box, it shows a CD If their are any drivers on it hopefully XP Pro 64 bit Vista 64 bit you can try installing them in compatibility mode.

Simply download the driver to your desktop>right click on the setup.exe file>properties? compatibility.check the box Vista or XP> drop down menu select either of the 2 and run as Administrator.

Usually Windows will automatically install the needed drivers once you have plugged in the device and turned it on.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

If this is your card:

It has a 2.0 x 16 slot requirement that may not be compatible with your system. If this is your prior card:

If this is your card:

It would work, providing you have 400w power supply and a 6 pin connector to hook up.
The only way I can clarify what you've got and whether it's actually compatible, I need the make and model number of the card you have. You can see there are alot of different options.
Note: after looking again at the specs for you system, it comes with a 425w power supply. If you have your case open look at your power supply and it should say on it what the supply is.

Any brand-new CD/DVD reader/writer with LightScribe *WILL* be compatible with your HP.
Check whether your "power" and "data" cables are the "old" style (white power connector and a 80-pin ribbon-cable) or the "new" style (thin SATA cables), before you buy a writer with the "wrong" (PATA versus SATA) interface.

if you look on the drive right near the eject button it will say what it supports weather it is dvd rom or dvd rw or cd rw...etc. it will say lightscribe on the side of it if it supports lightscribe

To use Lightscribe you must get a Lightscribe CD or DVD. If the CD or DVD is Lightscribe compatible, just go to your programs menu scroll to Lightscribe and it leads you through the process. It's a user friendly software.

Please don't forget to rate this

Ok. Well basically CD, DVD and Hard Drives are all cross compatible platforms so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If your asking me to choose I would say that you remove the CD writer instead. But before you do this make sure you have enough extra sockets in your motherbaord to plug in your Pioneer DVR-1910LS 20x DVD±RW IDE Drive w/LightScribe if your CD Writer uses IDE interface your inluck coz you can use it in place of the Pioneer DVR-1910LS 20x DVD±RW IDE Drive w/LightScribe, but if it isn't make sure you have a spare IDE socket in your motherboard. Simply remove the side panel use a flashlight and see if there are vacant IDE sockets, it's usually long in black, white or blue color. see the picture below.


If its vacant follow the steps on the link below simply copy and paste the link on you browsers address bar.
