HP drives can read most 80-minute CDs. However, the manufacturing process for 80-minute CDs varies and reliability problems can occur. To reduce compatibility problems with 80-minute CDs, HP recommends that you use HP-brand 80-minute media or use a 74-minute disc. If experiencing difficulty with non-HP media, please contact the manufacturer for support.
