http://www.patchburn.de/ may allow you to patch the DVD drive to be able to use the Finder, iTunes, and iDVD to burn DVDs with your HP burner. If not, check if http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ knows of a firmware that would allow it. Short of that, you may want to sell your HP burner and buy a Firewire one from http://www.macsales.com/ which is known to be Mac compatible for use with those programs.
