Troubleshooting; My Recording Failed; I Can't Add Files To My Music Cd - HP Pavilion a200 Supplementary Manual

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.

Creating DVDs and CDs
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.
