Most if not all hp cdrom-rws/dvd-rws,come from liteonit.All liteonit hardware
such as these also have firmware updates from liteonit.com.Simply R.click the
drive in "my computer" properties,get the model nos,it should be the same as
retail liteonit products.Download the firmware.

Might check the above link with your HP model # to see if there are any
updates for your burning software or firmware for the HP 300i, also see if
any FAQ's coincide with your problem or contact HP customer support directly..
Post your results or concerns..
Cheers
