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.
