The LG GSA 4167B 16x DVD writer is an excellent writer if you can get i to work. I bought one of these in December 2005, I installed it with ease, as it comes with a manual.
Windows XP found and installed it with no problems at all.
I placed a blank CD in the tray and wrote to it with no problems but when I placed a Verbatim blank DVD in to burn, it would not read it? I bought some Datawrite blanks and tried those again with no luck.
I browsed the net and found that alot of people had the exact same problem, the problem seemed to occur when the PSU (Power Supply Unit) in the PC was 350kw or less. I installed a new 450kw PSU and Bingo it worked with everything I put in it. I've now had it for nearly 4 months and had about 2 bad burns out of countless DVD's and CD's
This is a great writer, probably one of the best *IF you can get it to work with your PC, so check your PSU supply before you buy, if its 350kw my advice would be dont buy unless you are willing to change the PSU.
Hope this helps.
