data files) if recording data.

 

 

 

Verify that you are using the correct disc type when you make a

 

copy of a disc. Some recording programs can record only to

 

the same disc type as the source. For example, you can record

 

a DVD only to a DVD+R/-R or a DVD+RW/-RW disc, and you

 

can record a CD only to a CD-R or a CD-RW disc.

speed is available.

 

 

 

The recording software may not let you add a track if it exceeds

 

the available space on your disc. You can make space

 

available by removing one or more tracks from the list before

 

recording the files to the disc.

 

 

 

Close all software programs and windows before recording.

 

 

 

Ensure you have enough available space on your hard disk

 

drive to store a temporary copy of the content.

 

Click the Start button, and then click Computer. Right-click

 

the hard disk drive, and then click Properties to view the

 

available space.
