Selecting and Preparing Easy CD Creator Media
Choosing Recording Media
Compaq recommends using high-quality media that correspond
to the maximum speed of the optical drive.
The notebook can write or copy to the following types of
recording media:
■
CD-Rs, which provide one-time, non-erasable recording.
■
CD-RWs, DVD-RAMs, and DVD/CD-RWs, which provide
erasable recording. (DVD/CD-RWs are not yet available in
all regions.)
Responding to the UDF Prompt
The first time you insert a CD-RW, DVD-RAM, or DVD/CD-RW
into an optical drive, you may be prompted to install Universal
Disk Format (UDF) Reader.
When UDF Reader is installed, a medium created with DirectCD
on your notebook can be used in another computer on which
DirectCD is not installed.
Compaq recommends that you install UDF Reader.
✎
Even if UDF Reader is installed on your notebook, a CD-R
created with DirectCD software can be used in a compatible
CD-ROM drive only if you select the Rearrange the Files option
as you create the CD-R.
Formatting Recording Media
You can purchase optical drive media that either are or are not
formatted for DirectCD.
■
To use DirectCD, use a medium formatted for DirectCD.
■
To use Easy CD Creator or CD Copier, do not use a medium
formatted for DirectCD.
