Hi david, I too have an HP-8100 series cd writer. They have a 650 megabyte limit to them. The most I have managed to squeeze out of it was 658Mb without turning it into a coaster. This is a physical limit to the drive itself, and even a firmware upgrade doesn't bypass this. The only way to burn more is to buy a newer drive.
