PRESARIO NOTEBOOK BEYOND SETUP GUIDE USING THE CD OR DVDDRIVE 5-19
1800 SERIES
You can record any
combination of tracks,
WAV, or MP3 files to an
Audio CD.
If information about the music
CD is located on your hard
disk, the CD title, artist name,
and the name of each track are
displayed. If this information
does not appear and you have
access to the Internet, click the
CDDB™ Internet button on the
toolbar to download the
information from the online
CDDB Music Service.
To test the drive performance,
Compaq recommends using the
Emulate Only option (located
in the Options window) when
recording a new CD-R or using
your Notebook for the first
time. This allows you to
perform a test run before
actually recording.
When you have finalised a
CD-R disc, no additional
tracks can be added to the disc.

1. On the Windows taskbar, click Start, point to Programs,
Adaptec Easy Creator 4, and then click Create CD.
2. On the Welcome screen, click Data. The Data screen opens.
3. On the Data screen, click Data CD. The Easy CD Creator
window opens.
