My old Lightscribe drive died and since I no longer upgrade my old computer I figured an external drive that connects via USB is what I need need. me until I invest in a more modern system in the future. My computer recognized it immediately, so playing and burning DVDs was a breeze. The now-dead drive doesn't talk to the new one (and the new drive doesn't come with LS software). data on your discs or look for third party software that will allow you to create legitimate LS labels. I went the second way. While I can create labels that use the entire printable surface of the LS disc, the new Nero software doesn't recognize .ncd files. This means that if my old LS labels start to fade over time, I can't dim them again by putting them back in the drive and re-running the .ncd data they created. Not unless I buy the prohibitively expensive standalone Nero software, which I won't be seeing any time soon. This is not an immediate problem and certainly not the drive's fault. But I say it for people in the same boat as me.
