◆ Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-
RAM disc cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully
before you delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are con-
nected, be careful not to delete data from the wrong drive.
◆ In writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW or DVD-RAM disc, some disc
space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write the
full capacity of the disc.
◆ Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it will be filled with dummy
data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a
small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.
◆ DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000 without
DVD-RAM Driver Software.
◆ When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful
not to write to the wrong drive.
◆ Be sure to connect the universal AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.
◆ Before you enter standby/hibernation mode, be sure to finish DVD-RAM
writing. Writing is finished if you can eject DVD-RAM media.
◆ Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software.
◆ Do not run software such as a screen saver, which can put a heavy load on
the CPU.
◆ Operate the computer in the full-power mode. Do not use power-saving fea-
tures.
◆ Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish, and
then disable virus detection programs including any software that checks
files automatically in the background.
◆ Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD
access speed. They may cause unstable operation and data damage.
◆ Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD/DVD. Do not try to write from
shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.
◆ Writing with software other than RecordNow! is not recommended.
