I'm not sure a Lightscribe burner is such a good choice. The media is more expensive and is often poor quality. Why not get a "normal" burner? The money you save from not having to throw lightscribe media into the bin would pay for a printer capable of printing directly onto your disks. Something like a Canon ip4200 (link here) or similar. It will be considered! Thanks Shamus

Thanks for all your help! I have been considering a lightscribe drive. Can I use these discs that I have left over, on a lightscribe, even though I can't print the label on them?

Hi. I am trying to burn Ubuntu 7.04 using an old HP 7500 CD Burner. I am using a blank Imation 700MB/80Min CD-R. I am getting a message saying: There doesn't appear to be enough disk space to burn this image. Img size:357,323 Sectors (697MB) Disc Size:295,264 Sectors (576MB) Would you like to continue anyway? Here is the info in the info field: HP CD-Writer+ 7500 1.0a (ATA) Current Profile: Unknown (FAILED!) Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 295,264 Free Space: 604,700,672 bytes Free Time: 65:38:64 (MM:SS:FF) Last month I burned Xubuntu 6.10 iso just fine onto a disc. Maybe that file was <576? Here's the info on that: HP CD-Writer+ 7500 1.0a (ATA) Current Profile: Unknown (FAILED!) Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 270,385 Size: 553,748,480 bytes Time: 60:07:10 (MM:SS:FF) TOC Information: Session 1... -> Track 01 (Mode ???, LBA: 0 - 270384) -> LeadOut (LBA: 270385) What gives?
