Operating Basics

■Drag'n Drop CD+DVD cannot record in packet format.

■You might not be able to use the DISC backup function of Drag'n Drop CD+DVD to back up a DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW disc that was made with other software on a different DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW recorder.

■If you add data to a DVD-R disc that you have already recorded to, you might not be able to read the added data under some circumstances. It cannot be read in 16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 98SE and Windows ME. In Windows NT4, you will need Service Pack 6 or later to read added data. In Windows 2000, you will need Service Pack 2 or later to read it. Some DVD-ROM and CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives cannot read added data regardless of the operating system.

■Drag'n Drop CD+DVD does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs. To record to a DVD-RAM, use Explorer or other utility.

■If you try to back up a DVD disc to a DVD-RW disc that was erased by the Quick erase option, you might get an error message. Use the Full erase option to clear the DVD-RW disc and try again.

■When you back up a DVD disc, be sure the source drive supports recording to DVD±R/±RW discs. If the source drive does not support recording to DVD±R/±RW discs, it might not be backed up correctly.

■When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW, be sure to use the same type of disc.
