Preparing to Use Easy CD Creator
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to a CD or DVD:
■ Before writing to a CD or DVD, connect the notebook to a reliable
external power source. Do not write to a CD or DVD while the
notebook is running on battery power.
■ Before writing to a CD or DVD, close all open applications
(including screen savers and antivirus software) except Easy CD
Creator Basic.
■ Do not copy directly from a CD or DVD to another CD or DVD or
from a network drive to a CD or DVD. Instead, copy from a CD,
DVD, or a network drive to your hard drive, then copy from your
hard drive to the CD or DVD.
■ Do not type on the notebook keyboard or move the notebook while
the notebook is writing to a CD or DVD. The write process is
sensitive to vibration.
Choosing Recording Media
Compaq recommends using high-quality media that correspond
to the maximum speed of the optical drive. The notebook can
write or copy to CDs and DVDs which provide one-time,
non-erasable recording or to CDs and DVDs which provide
erasable recording.
Responding to the UDF Prompt
The first time you insert a CD or DVD into an optical drive, you
may be prompted to install Universal Disk Format (UDF) Reader.
When UDF Reader is installed, a CD or DVD created with
DirectCD on your notebook can be used in another computer on
which DirectCD is not installed.
✎
Even if UDF Reader is installed on your notebook, a CD or DVD
created with DirectCD software can be used in a compatible
optical drive only if you select the Rearrange the Files option as
you create the CD or DVD.
