If possible try to return the the hp 4020i for a different cdr. Its known to be defective and is why they discontinued the model line. Personally I am on my second hp 4020i, my first was replaced free of charge when it started getting 'write append errors' after > 300 or megs written to the disk. The retailer admitted that this one will eventually suffer the same fate. In this whole mess up of purchasing a second rate cdr its going to cost me 15% restocking fee, plus the difference in price of the new cdr's which are coming in less then a month. These new cdr's supposedly have far few moving parts and are much more reliable.
