Create your own custom laser etched labels with LightScribe technology.

I/OMagic's blazing fast 24x DVDñRW/ñR simplifies DVD ReWritable technology with one unit that does it all; giving you the ability to read and write to popular formats including, DVD+R, DVD+R(DL), DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-R, and CD-RW. Dual Format technology gives you the freedom to choose the media format (-R, -RW, +R, +RW) that is most compatible with your computer or home DVD player, while the Double Layer technology allows you to store twice as much data on DVD DL media; that's up to 8.5GB of storage! With an increased write speed of 24x for +R and -R, and 8x for +RW, you can create your own DVD movies and music CDs in minutes!

Now you can easily create your own custom laser etched labels with LightScribe technology. Your drive contains a special laser that etches text and images onto a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. The light from the laser works in conjunction with specially coated media that enables you to create fantastic labels right on the disc! Throw away those markers and sticker labels. With LightScribe, the disc is the label. It's as easy as Burn, Flip, and Burn!

      Had trouble installing on Desk top. Would not work properly when installed on Laptop. Had to copy file to documents then transfer back to I/O Magic, which then came up with an error message to change the transfer speed... then, it would uninstall so I could try to re-install...

          Takes a little getting used to but fun once you get it. Directions a little confusing & a little trial & error is needed. I used JPG files for labels & thought colors were a little faded on the finished label. Burning the disc is quick & efficient, though.

                • A:

                  Follow the instructions on the installation guide. Usually there is a installation CD, therefore making the Internet connection unnecessary.

                Asked on 10/10/2011 by Jimbo from Laingsburg, MI

                • A:

                  This is an external DVD-RW drive, so it is not meant to work inside a computer. However, it will work just fine with a Gateway #615272e running Windows XP. Just make sure to put it on a flat surface near your computer, and make sure you have a USB port, and power plug space open for it.
