I received a HP GDR-8164B a few days ago and i was confused. All info I have researched tells me it should say LG. So I thought what the hell lets install it and give it a try. I used rawdump2.0 and was able to get some of my games as iso. ext.. Wii Play, Wii Sports, Rampage, and Avatar. All have been 2 hours 30min. That is until I bought Mario Strikers and rawdump2.0 gives me 3 hours to complete and fails around 1-2 hours every time on the same spot. This is my 5th try and I get the same result every time. The place where I bought the drive from tells me I am crazy and that it is not an HP even though the sticker on it clearly says HP GDR-8164B. Does anyone else have this issue or have any advice?

Read that LG supplied DVD ROM drives to HP, Dell, and Gateway. They are rebranded LG drives.

Well good news is the drive works and so do the backups. I have a d2b chip so I had to mod my wii the hard way. So if LG hooked up HP thats fine by me.
