Preparing to Use Easy CD Creator

Ä
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to a CD or DVD:
Before writing to a CD or DVD, connect the notebook to a reliable
external power source. Do not write to a CD or DVD while the
notebook is running on battery power.
Before writing to a CD or DVD, close all open applications
(including screen savers and antivirus software) except Easy CD
Creator Basic.
Do not copy directly from a CD or DVD to another CD or DVD or
from a network drive to a CD or DVD. Instead, copy from a CD,
DVD, or a network drive to your hard drive, then copy from your
hard drive to the CD or DVD.
Do not type on the notebook keyboard or move the notebook while
the notebook is writing to a CD or DVD. The write process is
sensitive to vibration.

Choosing Recording Media

HP recommends using high-quality media that correspond to the
maximum speed of the optical drive. The notebook can write or
copy to CDs and DVDs which provide one-time, non-erasable
recording or to CDs and DVDs which provide erasable recording.
Responding to the UDF Prompt
The first time you insert a CD or DVD into an optical drive, you
may be prompted to install Universal Disk Format (UDF) Reader.
When UDF Reader is installed, a CD or DVD created with
DirectCD on your notebook can be used in another computer on
which DirectCD is not installed.
Even if UDF Reader is installed on your notebook, a CD or DVD
created with DirectCD software can be used in a compatible
optical drive only if you select the Rearrange the Files option as
you create the CD or DVD.
