About Using The Optical Disc Drive(s)

When I click an application icon, the message, “You must insert the application CD into your drive” appears and the software does not start.

Some software applications require specific files that are located on the application’s CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try starting the program again.

Check to make sure you inserted the CD-ROM with the label side facing up.

Why doesn't my optical drive (DVD-RW) record to CD-RW media at higher speeds?

If you are having difficulty formatting CD-RW media for recording purposes, try changing the write speed to a lower setting. Your media must support writing speeds at 2X or lower.

See the Help or documentation that came with your CD or DVD recording software application for details on adjusting the write speed settings.

Your DVD-RW drive does not support high-speed writing to a CD-RW media. Verify that your CD-RW media supports writing speeds of 2X or lower.

Why doesn't my optical drive (CD-RW) record to CD-RW media?

If you are having difficulty with writing, erasing, or formatting on your CD-RW media, the reason may be that the media is not compatible with your high-speed CD-RW drive. Try using CD-RW media that is identified as “high-speed” (4X or higher) for maximum performance and compatibility.
