My floppy disk drive cannot write to a disk
The floppy disk may be write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or use a disk that is not write-
protected.
Check that the disk is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.
When I double-click an application icon, a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your
drive' appears and the software does not start
Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM.
Insert the disc and try starting the program again.
Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing outwards.
Why does my CD/DVD-RW not record at the highest speed?
For the CD-RW drive, you must use 24x CD-R or 10x CD-RW media to achieve optimum performance.
For the DVD-RW drive (PCV-RX305 and PCV-RX306 only), you must use 8x CD-R and 4x CD-RW or 2x DVD-R
or 2x DVD-RW media to achieve maximum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting the disc with the above speeds, change
the writing speed to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Go to My Computer from the Start menu.
2 Right-click the disc drive icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Recordings tab.
5 Under Desktop CD/DVD recording, change the current writing speed to 4x or 2x (for the DVD-RW).
6 Click OK.
The speed is changed and recording should run smoothly.
