hi. i just installed win xp pro on a celeron 600 and my external burner (HP 7200 parrallel) is detected as vid_04E6 PID_80000002. I downloaded the drivers from hp bet still doesnt work! Any suugestions?

Go into the Hardware Device manager and disable the burner it has detected, then install the new drivers and it should come up as a new burner. Once done go back into device manager and remove the old burner and restart machine

Unfortunately you need a different driver, I had the same problem with my HP external drive. I have it on my laptop at home, email me to remind me and I will send it to you. It comes complete with instructions. Eric, CCNA, A+, APS, Net+

Hi Rene! I had the same Problem with the HP7200e I needed the WinXP_LPT_Driver.exe for it. You can download the file at: http://www2.driverguide.com/uploads/uploads11/26321.html If the download does not work, go to Driverguide.com, login with name: "Drivers" Password: "all" and navigate to the HP site. Hope this will work, it worked for me. There is also an instruction file how to install. Peter

I have exactly the same HP SureStore7200E+. Peter has right exept in my case I didn't followed the install instructions precicely. But you sure need that driver....!

Forgot to mention that it worked fine. Grtz...!
