I have the HP DC5000 DVD writer. I recently went over to Vista and it now doesn’t work. Thanks!
I went over to the HP site and found this page. Basically it says that there are no Vista drivers for the drive. Now you can try the drivers found on that page, it’s unlikely that they’ll work but it doesn’t hurt to try.
You can also try calling HP and asking them: “Are you going to make a Vista driver for this device?”
