H-P LightScribe DVD writer/CD writer - it came installed
Writes CDs just fine, but is not recognized by any of my DVD burning applications. It does read DVDs
Running XP Pro on a new H-P ACPI multiprocessor.

The GSA drives are actually made by LG for HP.
The 421L model fails to show anywhere ... did you misread it or perhaps mistype it ?
In any case, I suggest going to the HP website (for your model PC ... if it is also HP) & downloading the latest firmware upgrade for the DVD drive.
HP has several posted & software compatability is one of the main reasons they are there.
I use a GSA-H20L & Nero recognizes it just fine.

Go to the Nero site and get the latest codec, also when you open the startsmart application, use the top drop down to select cd/dvd....you probably have just cd selected.
To get the lightscribe plugin go to http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/LightScribe.html

You may have to reinstall Nero. It recoginizes at the time of installation I believe.
