Using Windows XP native recording with your CD-RW drive

Your CD-RW drive is fully compatible with the recording functions built into Windows XP. You can record data CDs without adding any additional software if you are running Windows XP. If you install the DLA software that comes with your CD-RW drive, Windows Native recording will be disabled and DLA will perform the formatting and writing functions. The CDs that you create with Windows native recording can be used in most versions of Windows without any special readers.
