The Windows 2000 operating system became available after the release of the CD-Writers listed in the table below. Updated drivers, firmware and software may be required to successfully use your CD-Writer Plus in Windows 2000.
The software that originally came with the CD-Writers listed below is not compatible with Windows 2000. (If your drive is not listed below, your software is compatible with Windows 2000). The HP CD-Writer group has worked out an agreement with Adaptec to provide Windows 2000 compatible software for a reduced price. The reduced price is only available to people who own an HP CD-Writer drive purchased separately from their computer. If you have a CD-Writer that came pre-installed in an HP computer, review documentation and/or contact the appropriate computer support group for information on their Windows 2000 solution.
etc, etc..
good luck
