Formatting CDs

To drag and drop files using DLA, you must first format the blank CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
To format a CD-R or CD-RW disc with the DLA program:
1. Insert a blank disc.
2. Double-click My Computer.
3. Right-click on the CD-RW icon.
4. Click Format.
5. Type the title of your disc in the Volume Label window. The disc name can be
up to 11 characters.
6. If you want to use EasyWrite for background format, select the EasyWrite
check box.
7. Click Start to start disc formatting, and click OK when formatting is completed.
8. Click OK when the format finished box appears. You can now write
information to the disc.
Note: Normal formatting will take from 4 to 45 minutes, depending on the speed
of the media. EasyWrite formatting will take under 2 minutes, but will
require an additional minute when the CD is ejected or the computer turned
off.
Note: You can do other tasks on your computer while the disc is being formatted.
