I have the lightscribe on my new laptop and am trying to use it for the first time-I downloaded the Lightscribe template program to use and a pack of Lightscibe DVD+Rs by Memorex and I can't get any of them to burn! I've tried 4 out of the container so far....does anyone have any ideas on why??  I can't see 4 in a row being bad, but maybe that's the case.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi babycynthia !

I'm using an HP Pavillion dv9825nr Notebook PC, running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1+.
I also have an HP PhotoSmart C8180 All-In-One Printer.  Both have built-in LS Drives.
Everything has been running LSS fine since 4/08.

I use Memorex disks and also HP disks almost all the time, because they are the only ones I seem to find.

If I have any problems with labeling a disk, I clean the center (hub) of the disk before burning the LABEL side first.

I use the LS Template Labeler for the LABEL side and NERO 9 for the DATA side.

I had trouble with the first two spindles I bought.

One disk had a bad DATA side and another (Memorex) had to be re-cleaned in the center (hub) of the disk 3 times of 20 turns of the cleaner, but it burned successfully.

I've also fooled around a little with the LS Simple Labeler.

I've developed 212 Custom Templates and 4 Test Background Images for the LS SL, and have share them with 149 Forum Users.

I own a resume company and send a CD with each package. I burn the client files and then flip the disk and burn the client name on the label. I have no problem with the label side of the disks but in the past 3 weeks or so I have close to half of a 25 pack of HP Lightscribe CD's that won't take the data. This is expensive and I'm really getting frustrated. Does Lightscribe stand behind their discs? Is there anyway to find out? I have tested my drive with other disks and it runs fine.

I'm also having trouble with the data side of HP Lightscribe discs. I just had 4 out of 25 fail to find a disc in the drive. Tried them several times each and the drive does not recognize them. This has happened with some of the discs in the last several 25 packs I have bought.
