Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide
Possible solution
Ensure the disc is inserted with the label facing up and centered in the tray.
Verify that you are using the correct disc type (media) for the drive. Try a
different brand of disc.
Make sure the disc is clean and undamaged. If recording stopped during a
recording session, the disc may be damaged; use a different disc.
Use the correct type of disc for the type of files you are recording.
When using a CD-R disc, make sure that it is blank when recording music, and
is blank or appendable (with space to add more data files) when
recording data.
Verify that you are using the correct disc type when making a copy of a disc.
Some recording programs can record only to the same disc type as the source.
For example, you can record a DVD only to a DVD+R/-R or a DVD+RW/-RW
disc, and you can record a CD only to a CD-R or a CD-RW disc.
Make sure the disc is in the correct drive and you specify the same drive in the
CD or DVD recording software.
Select a slower write speed for the recording drive, if it is available.
The recording software may not let you add a track if it exceeds the available
space on your disc. You can make space available by removing one or more
tracks from the list before recording the files to disc.
Close all software programs and windows before recording.
Make sure you have enough space available on your hard disk drive to store a
temporary copy of the content.
Click the Windows Start Button, then Computer. Right-click on the hard
disk drive and select Properties to view the space available.
If you are on a network, copy the files from a network drive to your hard disk
drive first, and then record them to disc.
Close all programs and windows and then restart your computer.
Make sure you set the correct recording option (append or add data files) in
your DVD burning software.
The computer must be connected to the Internet for the artist, title, and track
information to appear when playing music CDs. This information is not
recorded on the disc.
Track information may not be available for every CD.
