(Code 19)" and how can i reinstall this burner and make it work please help me.
This is a link to an HP site - but the information in step 3 is relevant to your problem (error code 19). Basically you have to uninstall any program that can burn disks (Nero, ImgBurn, etc) then cleanup the registry. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...uct=3377275&docname=c00817052#bph07146_filter
