Installing DLA Software

The DLA software is not preinstalled on your PC.

Important: Installing the DLA program disables the CD Writing Wizard program.

DLA allows you to use your DVD Writer/

CD Writer drive as you would a diskette drive, by copying files to disc or by using a drag-and- drop method.

To get and install the DLA program:

1Go to the Web site: http://www.hp.com/cposupport

2Type your model number into the Search box (for example, Media Center 863n).

3Click drivers and downloads for your model. Click applications, if it is present.

4Choose DLA, and then follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the program.

Recording with DLA

Important: Format a blank CD or DVD before copying files directly to a CD or DVD. If you don’t, a message appears telling you to format the disc or telling you that your drive is not accessible.

1Press the Eject button on the drive and insert the blank disc.

2Click Start, and then click My Computer.

3Right-click the drive icon and select Format.

4Under Volume Label, type in the title of the disc.

5Under Format type, select Full or Quick (erase). You must select the quick format for all CD-R or DVD+R discs. You must select the full format for a CD-RW or a DVD+RW disc the first time you format it.

Note: Full format can take up to 45 minutes. Quick format usually takes less than a minute.
