Note
The DVD player in your notebook PC performs to high and advanced specifications. It
would
not benefit from the installation of a software program called “PC Friendly” that
is included with many DVD titles. We recommend against installing PC Friendly on
your notebook PC. PC Friendly can cause your DVD player to perform erratically and
produce errors. If this happens, uninstall PC Friendly, restart your computer, and try
playing your DVD again.
To create or copy CDs
If your computer came with a CD-RW drive, it also includes software that lets you copy
or create CDs. Click Start, Programs (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, All Programs,
Multimedia, CD Writer (Windows XP). (The name of the CD-RW software can vary.)
If you need to install the CD-RW software, run Setup on the software CD.
Refer to the software’s help for details about creating or copying CDs.
For Windows XP, you can use Windows Media Player to create audio CDs and
Windows Explorer to create data CDs using a CD-RW drive.
Note
For best results use HP certified media. While other media may work, HP cannot
guarantee compatibility.
The computer’s drive does not support 12X media (it automatically switches to a lower
recordable speed). Rewritable media C7981A 12X HP CD-RW is not compatible with
this drive.
