Troubleshooting

My recording failed

If your recording failed, try the following and then record your files again:

■Close all other programs and don’t perform any tasks while recording.

■Enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) on your PC.

■Reduce maximum recording speed.

■Manually select a slower recording speed. Each time you make a recording, RecordNow selects the optimum recording speed for your drive and the disc you are using. Refer to the Help menu in RecordNow for more information about selecting a slower recording speed.

■Make sure you select the correct drive before recording. RecordNow selects the first optical drive it finds, but you can select the drive in RecordNow before you begin recording.

■Make sure you have enough space available on your hard disk drive for RecordNow to store a temporary copy of your CD.

■RecordNow can record only to the same disc type it records from. For example, you can record a DVD only to a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc, and you can record a CD only to a CD-R or a CD-RW disc.

■When you create a DVD or CD, RecordNow does not let you add a track if it exceeds the available space on your disc. Most CD-R discs can record about 80 minutes. You can make space available by removing one or more tracks from the list before recording the remaining files to CD.

I can’t add files to my music CD

When recording a music CD, RecordNow creates a closed session CD, which means no additional files can be added to that disc after the initial recording.
