What is the best way to label a disc?

Recommendations

Adhesive labels should NOT be applied to DVD+RW discs because they can make the DVD unreadable.

If you use an adhesive label on CDs, use only labels made specifically for CDs. Once the label touches the CD, don't try to remove or reposition it because you can pull off the recording layer.

Use only quick drying permanent markers to write on discs. Avoid any marker containing non-drying ink, because the ink may eventually eat through the disc surface and damage your data. Do not use ballpoint or other sharp- tipped pens because you can scratch through the protective coating and damage your data.

How do I buy more discs?

You can purchase HP CDs and DVDs from your local computer store or online at http://www.hp.com

When do I need to format a disc?

A CD only needs to be formatted if you will use HP DLA.

DVD+RW discs must always be formatted before use. Your software will take care of formatting automatically.

Can I copy a disc that is in my existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive to a disc in my HP drive?

You can use a DVD-ROM drive as a source drive; however, if the disc you want to copy is a DVD+RW, not all DVD-ROM drives will be able to read it.

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) and similar laws in other countries govern the reproduction of copyrighted works. The person using the HP drive may be liable for its use to make unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Hewlett-Packard Company does not authorize or condone the use of the HP drive for the unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted works.

Neither your HP DVD-Writer nor the software that came with it is capable of copying content protected discs.

Q

A

Can I copy a music disc that is in my CD-ROM drive to a blank disc in my HP drive?

You can use your CD-ROM drive to copy music CDs if the CD-ROM is capable of "digital audio extraction". Although all CD-ROM drives can playback music from a music CD, not all are capable of reading the tracks in digital format or can do it at an acceptable speed. If a music CD that you've recorded contains clicks, pops, or hissing, this could be the cause. Your CD-ROM is capable of digital audio extraction if it is available in the "Device to read from" box in the HP RecordNow software. If your CD-ROM drive does not do digital audio extraction, you can still copy music CDs by swapping the music CD and the blank CD in and out of your HP drive.
