Title: Compatible - Bah humbug!
Product review: It gets worse. Basically, DVDs written on this drive will not read on any other non-HP devices I own (I've tried four, Panasonic and Toshiba). The first HP tech I spoke to told me to factory-restore my system becaused that somehow would update the firmware in the DVD-writer. Hmm. The second tech told me the problem might be the reflectivity of DVD+RW and I should try DVD-R. I told her twice the 100i did not support DVD+R, but she insisted. So I bought some media and sure enough, it *doesn't* work. The third tech I spoke to (speaking for his supervisor) told me that basically it wasn't really HP's problem if the DVDs didn't read on any non-HP drives.Bottom line: if you are interested in sharing video DVDs with other people, DVD+RW is a waste of money. Stay away from it. Get something that supports DVD+R.
