Mine came as shown and u take shroud off old one and put on new one. If u pull yours out and it looks the same in the back it will work there is a plug in the back u need to swap over as well.

Most laptops which are equipped with optical drives use the same unit, physically. They have different features, but the case is the same. Usually you have to pull the bezel off of your old drive, and sometimes unscrew a connector adapter or contact block from your old drive and install it on the new one. Its really simple, takes a couple of minutes. You need to make sure you are replacing a SATA drive in your laptop, most recent ones are.

Yes. You may be required to exchange connections on the back of the drive, and swap faces on the front.

Also tried to install it on my HP dv6-1030us and it does not work. It ask me or tells me I do not have the license to use it.ThanksRay Sanders

Yes. I installed Nero 8 Ultra on My Windows 7 HP Laptop and it works perfectly. Haven't had an issue in 3 years. I been using it all week making videos of home movies and copying DVDs for Christmas presents. Von Ehman

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't have that machine. What is in the machine now? I would stick with what HP tells you to buy as far as the compatible #.

According to the product detail page, it comes with DVD-+R/CDRW, that means it can read and write CD's but cannot write DVD discs. We at designix-us offers is with DVD/CD-RW Combo optical drive, which means the drive can read and write on both CD's and DVD discs. Most often times this laptops comes with either depending on the specs at time of manufacture.

I have no idea. I just take advice from my techy at the computer repair shop where I bought my computer. Call one up and ask them. I was pissed I had to junk my perfectly good HP laser. But HP doesn't provide programs to make the unit compatable with my new computer. That is one of the reasons why I no longer buy HP.

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

Windows 7 should not ask for drivers for DVD/CDROM drives. If it does it usually is because of the system not seeing any CD's commonly due to conflicts with iTunes and Burning software (Roxio, etc.)I've recently replaced a bad drive with this model on a Win7 laptop and it automatically recognized it. Hope this helps. Jim

Go to the HP site. There is a driver for that model. I did not use the CD because I did not want the entire HP print suite.

All of my Lightscribe CDs and DVDs are HP-branded. As an experiment, I suggest you try moving your Pawtec drive to another computer with Lightscribe software and see if your discs are recognized. It is difficult to tell if the problem is related to hardware, software or media. I have had some success in taking a disc that wasn't recognized on one computer to another and burning the label perfectly. Because of this kind of issue I decided recently to phase out of Lightscribe production.

I believe it would be compatible with HP Product #AW664AA#ABA, which can be purchased on Amazon using any of the below ASIN's: B004U7R90S B003N3GGE0 B0084ZRBGO B008N4C7ZG

I would go to HP's site to verify. I use this model in MFSYS25 Intel modular server. Intel lists it as a compatible device on their site.

I cannot say about HP, but Ubuntu 12.04 works great on Acer aspire D270 which is based on the same Atom N2600 CPU. EVERYTHING worked out of the box for me, including card reader, WiFi, Function keys, suspend, etc.!

Unfortunately that Plextor DVD Burner is for computer towers only - what you need for your laptop is either an internal DVD burner that fits your laptop internally (best to have a local PC repair shop do this for you) or buy an external DVD Burner that plugs in to your USB port on your laptop. If you bought this on Amazon less than 30 days ago you may be able to exchange this for an external DVD Burner or get a refund on it. Hope this helps you.
