My simple question is this:
What CD/DVD burning software is supported on Windows 2008 Standard Server?
Background:
A client of mine just bought a new HP ML350 G5 (March 2009), which came with a HP branded GSA-H53L (E2C) DVD Rewriter (Manufactured - July 2008) and bundled with Roxio DigitalMedia Plus (circa 2005 (MyDVD v6.1)).
When I start the install of the Roxio software, I immediately get a DLA error…
After Google-ing around, there are known issues with Roxio’s DLA software, and the drive itself appears to be a discontinued LG OEM model.
When the VAR that sold the Server is contacted, they point to HP…
When HP is contacted, they point to the VAR…
I have checked the following, and NONE show NAMED support for Windows 2008 Standard Server:
- Alcohol 120%
- Corel WinDVD 9
- CyberLink Power2Go 6
- Droppix Recorder XE
- GEAR PRO Mastering Edition 8.00
- Nero 9 nor BackItUp 4
- NTI Media Maker 8
- Roxio Creator 2009 nor Roxio Creator 2009 Ultimate
They support Vista, but not NAMED support for Windows 2008 Server, which the Owner of the company wants to see/hear.
What we are looking for is a simple, reliable way to burn data to CD/DVD media; create/mount ISO images if need be (example: SQL 2008 install), and maybe take advantage of the LightScribe capabilities of the drive.
Can someone out there enlighten me to a product!
Thanks in advance,
