To make recording to the DVD-RAM disk, select the current drive to the DVD drive (see page 84 for details).

<Note>: If you format a DVD-RAM disk when any partition is selected as the cur- rent drive, the current drive does not change after formatting is completed. Therefore, if you want to make recording to the DVD-RAM disk, you must change the current drive from the partition to the DVD drive.

On the other hand, if you format a partition when the DVD drive is selected as the current drive, the current drive automatically changes to the partition after for- matting is completed.
