Troubleshooting
HP RecordNow makes recording CDs as simple as clicking a few buttons. However,
you may still have some questions as you make your recordings. This section tries to
answer those questions.
Recordings Fail
Disc recording is a resource-sensitive process. Having other applications running
while recording to a disc can deprive your system of required resources and cause the
recording to fail.
Most of these errors can be avoided by following these steps:
■
Enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) on your system. See your operating
system’s documentation for information on enabling DMA.
■
Close all other applications during the recording process. This includes any
screen savers and anti-virus software that may be running on your computer.
■
Reduce your maximum recorder speed. See Options for more details.
■
Use your recorder to both read your source disc and to write to your blank disc.
RecordNow will create a temporary image of the source disc on your hard drive,
which may read faster than your computer’s read-only drive.
Adding Data Files to a Music Disc
Data cannot be added to a music disc created by HP RecordNow. When
HP RecordNow creates a music disc, it creates a closed session disc, which prevents
the addition of data.
Unreadable Media
Your optical drive uses a laser beam to read the information on your disc.
Fingerprints, scratches, or any kind of dirt on your disc can cause the drive to misread
your disc.
To avoid this, be sure your disc is clean by taking a clean cloth and wiping off any dirt
or fingerprints. Also be sure to take care when handling your disc to avoid touching
the shiny surface.
Optical Drive Unavailable
There are two basic types of optical drives: a read-only drive and a recorder drive.
Though a recorder drive can be used to read read-only media, a read-only drive
cannot be used to record to media.
Check to make sure that your recording device is properly attached to your system
and that it is functional, then try your recording again.
