Selecting and Preparing Easy CD Creator Media

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 the following types of recording media:

■CD-Rs, which provide one-time, non-erasable recording.

■CD-RWs, DVD-RAMs, and DVD/CD-RWs, which provide erasable recording. (DVD/CD-RWs are not yet available in all regions.)

Responding to the UDF Prompt

The first time you insert a CD-RW, DVD-RAM, or DVD/CD-RW into an optical drive, you may be prompted to install Universal Disk Format (UDF) Reader.

When UDF Reader is installed, a medium created with DirectCD on your notebook can be used in another computer on which DirectCD is not installed.

Compaq recommends that you install UDF Reader.

✎Even if UDF Reader is installed on your notebook, a CD-R created with DirectCD software can be used in a compatible CD-ROM drive only if you select the Rearrange the Files option as you create the CD-R.

Formatting Recording Media

You can purchase optical drive media that either are or are not formatted for DirectCD.

■To use DirectCD, use a medium formatted for DirectCD.

■To use Easy CD Creator or CD Copier, do not use a medium formatted for DirectCD.
