Try using your HP drive as both the source and destination drive

If you use your HP drive as your source drive, the entire contents of the audio CD must be copied to your computer's hard disk. A 74-minute audio CD requires approximately 670MB of free hard disk space. Make sure your hard disk has at least this much free space available.

HP RecordNow reported that the source disc cannot be copied

Two types of source discs cannot be copied because they are in an incorrect format:

■DVD movies that use copyright protection.

■Discs that were written using the packet writing method (such as Veritas DLA).

If you're trying to record to an 80-minute CD

The audio layout portion of the HP RecordNow application restricts audio creation to the 74-minute standard.

■If the drive is not receiving power, make sure that a power cable is plugged into the rear of the drive. If you have an external drive, make sure the external power supply is plugged into a working wall outlet or power strip.

■Disconnect and then reconnect your external HP drive's power cable.

■Disconnect and then reconnect data cable at both ends: at the back of the drive and at the computer's connector.

■If you have an internal HP drive, check the data connectors at both ends for bent pins. If you find any bent pins, GENTLY and CAREFULLY straighten them with needle-nosed pliers.

■Check the data cable for any signs of damage. If there is damage, you may need to replace the data cable.
