Preparing to Use Easy CD Creator

ÄCAUTION: 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.
