Recording with HP DLA
HP DLA allows you to use the hp cd-writer drive like a diskette drive by
using the drag-and-drop capability.
Important:
Before using HP DLA to copy files directly to CDs, you must
format the disc.
To format a disc that allows you to record files using the DLA program:
1
Press the Eject button on the hp cd-writer drive, and insert the blank
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
2
Click
Start
, and then click
My Computer
.
3
Right-click the hp cd-writer drive icon, and select
Format
.
4
Under Volume Label, type in the title of the disc.
5
Under Format type, select
Full
or
Quick (erase)
. You must select
the quick format for all CD-R discs. You must select the full format for
a CD-RW disc the first time you format it.
Note:
Full format can take from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the speed of
the drive and the size of your disc. Quick format usually takes less than a minute.
6
If desired, click
Enable Compression
. (Only PCs with DLA
software installed can read files formatted with this type of
compression.) This option will not compress files that are already
compressed.
Important:
CD-R discs that contain compressed files cannot be made
compatible.
7
Click
Start
to format the disc.
8
Click
Yes
to the message that all files on the CD will be erased.
9
Click
OK
.
10
When the disc formatting is complete, you can copy your files to the
hp cd-writer drive (from some menus, it may be labeled DLA drive)
by:
■
Dragging and dropping a file onto your drive icon.
■
Selecting
Save As
from within a program and saving the file to
your drive.
■
Right-clicking a file and selecting
Send To
, and then selecting
your drive.
If you want to use your DLA-formatted disc in another CD drive that does
not support DLA, right-click the hp cd-writer drive icon and select
Make
Compatible
.
Important:
The Make Compatible option for DLA software is available
only for uncompressed CD-R discs. Once you make a disc compatible,
the disc is closed, and you can’t write any more files to it.
