Are you getting an error with the HP CD-Writer "High speed media error". Have you found a solution or are you still getting this error?
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't have an HP but I think that I may know what your problem is. Check the blank media that you are using closely. There are now blank media CD-Rs and CD-RWs that are specifically designed for writers with high speed capabilities. The packaging should say so, if it is. These new CD media do not record in writers even as new as a year or so. And most certainly, unless your HP is an extreme high end machine, or unless you purchased the CD burner as an upgrade, your burner is not compatible with the CD-R media you are using. Hope that this helps :)

You should still be able to use the media you have but you will have to burn at slower speed (that which the media is rated for).
Try 2x and work your way up if you dont know what the media will support.
