●
Once the Format operation is started, it cannot be cancelled.
●
Media formatted with compression can only be read by a machine with HP
DLA installed.
●
Formatting a CD-R or DVD-R uses space on the media.
●
If your CD-RW, DVD-RW or DVD-RAM disc has been used by another
application, it may take HP DLA a little longer than normal to format the disc.
●
If your drive is HP Fast Format capable (see your optical recorder’s User Guide
for more information) HP DLA will automatically use the HP Fast Format
feature when performing a Full Format of your disc. This feature allows you to
read and write to your disc during the formatting process.
