3–16 Getting Started
Using the PC
When the disc formatting is complete, you
can copy your files directly to the disc in
My Computer by:
■ Dragging a file from a Windows Explorer
window to your drive icon.
Or
■ Selecting Save As from within some
programs, and then saving the file to your
drive.
Or
■ Right-clicking a file, selecting Send To, and
then selecting your drive.
After you record your files, if you want to read the
DLA-formatted disc on most other CD-ROM drives,
you must make the disc compatible: Insert your disc
into your drive, right-click the DVD Writer drive
icon or the CD Writer drive icon, and then select
Make Compatible.
The Make Compatible feature in DLA makes
uncompressed CD-R and DVD+R discs readable by
most read-only CD or DVD drives, even if DLA is
not installed in the PC. When you make a disc
compatible, DLA closes the session on your disc.
This means:
■ With a DVD+R, you are not able to add data
to the disc.
■ With a CD-R, you are able to add more data
in another recording session, but you need to
select Make Compatible again after you
add the files.
