Making Audio CDs

Try using a different source drive

Use another CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, if one is available.

You can also use your HP drive as both the source and destination drive. HP RecordNow copies the files or audio tracks from the CD to your hard disk, then back to the CD-R or CD-RW disc. Make sure your hard disk has enough free space to hold the entire contents of the CD you want to copy.

To change the source drive for an exact disc copy, click the Change button in the device panel on the lower-right side of the RecordNow main window and select the desired drive from the pull-down list.
