Backing up a CD or DVD

To copy a commercial CD or DVD, you must own the copyright or obtain permission from the copyright owner. If you do not own the copyright or do not obtain permission from the copyright owner, you might be violating copyright law and might be subject to payment of damages or other remedies. For more information on copyright law, consult your legal advisor.

Problem solving

Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The information in this section might be useful to help you solve problems or to gather helpful information you can pass on to a service technician. You might also need to refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter publications.

Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your situation.

You cannot create a multisession disc.

Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing a session requires lead-in and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the data that is recorded.

You cannot successfully write to a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or

DVD-RAM disc.

Take the following actions:

1.Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an antivirus program, an Internet or e-mail program, or other software. Disable the functions that might interrupt the write operation.

2.Verify that the hard disk has been defragmented.

3.Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk drive is conducting a thermal recalibration during a write operation.

4.Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.

5.Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and CD-RW drives.

You cannot eject a CD or DVD disc.

Take the following actions after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of writing to a disc:

1.Eject the CD through software.

2.Use the Eject button.

3.Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try using the Eject button again.

4.If other methods do not work, use the manual-eject hole, using instructions given in “Manually ejecting a disc” on page 10.

You cannot read from the CD or DVD disc after successfully writing to it.
