Ejecting a Disc
When you want to eject the disc, you can use the normal function in the Shell interface, the Eject
function in the abCD menu or just press the button on the drive.
While ejecting, abCD performs an operation that can slow down the tray opening for few seconds.
During that period, a message box is displayed.
Formatting a Disc
Before using a disc for the first time, abCD must format the disc for Packet Writing. The format dialog
can be selected by the Taskbar Icon menu or it is opened automatically when a new blank disc is inserted,
if the abCD specific option is set.
A new disc, an erased disc, or a disc containing data or audio must be completely formatted. The process
takes about 35 minutes, but is not CPU intensive. A progress dialog is maintained in a screen corner:
You can quickly format a disc for abCD only if it is a rewritable disc already formatted as Packet
Writing. The quick format will take only a few seconds.
While formatting, the user can perform almost any other normal operation with the computer, without
any risk of interrupting or ruining the formatting process.
