@sbalu571, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding compatibility issue!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
For the HP CD Writer series, such as those released around the year 2000, the typical connection to a PC would have used a standard USB cable, likely USB Type-A to USB Type-B, which were common for devices like CD/DVD writers at that time.
You can find a compatible USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable at most electronics stores. These cables are widely available and should be easily accessible in India. Make sure it is a USB 2.0 cable for optimal performance.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
