I am having problems with my HP CD-writer cd16v. Is there a newsgroup
for HP cd problems. Could someone tell me the significance of the different
speeds listed on the cd packets when I purchase them. I've seen 4X multi
speed, 24X multi speed, 12X multi speeds.

Unmarked (standard) - 2x only
MultiSpeed - 1x - 4x (some are 2x-4x)
HighSpeed - 4x - 12x (some are 8x-12x, 10x-12x)
UltraSpeed - 16x - 24x
UltraSpeed+ - 32x only (burn only w/ UltraSpeed+ drive)

Most likely, you are using the wrong media.

If it's UltraSpeed, it wants discs in similarly marked
packages - rated 16x and above. If it's High Speed, it wants discs in
similarly marked packages, rated 4x and above.

Erasable media have proved unreliable. In addition if you have a
HighSpeed drive (rated above 4x), you should not use media rated
for a maximum of 4x of less; they are not HighSpeed. You may get
apparently good results, but the error rate is likely to be high
and reliability will be low.

If you have a Ultra Speed Rewritable Drive
you can use 8x-24x CD-RW Media, 4x-12x CD-RW Media & 1x-4x

Yes and no. Your drive may or may not write to media of a lesser
type than specified, but the quality of the write is generally
much less than that for the specified type, which is often less
than you'd want to begin with. I did not say that it would not
work, only that "you're asking for trouble".

Double-check your data, though. There may be an UltraSpeed drive
which will write as slowly as 4x, but I don't know of it.
