Running under Windows NT
For the NEC Versa VXi system only, NEC Computers recommends that you disable the
Save-to-File power management feature before writing to a CD. The CD-RW software running
under Windows NT does not support ACPI functions, and the system may go into a Save-to-File
state even though the drive is busy.
Note
Disable the Save-to-File feature before creating CDs.
If the system goes into a Save-to-File state during CD creation, the resulting CD will have
errors, and will have to be created again.
While the CD creation does resume once the system comes out of the Save-to-File state, the
message, “Errors reported by output device” appears, and the resulting CD does not function
properly.
For information on disabling the Save-to-File setting in Windows NT systems, see the BIOS
Setup sections of your NEC Versa user’s guide.

With other media, the sensitivity settings are not configurable so only default settings can be
used during CD creation. As a result, the CD being created may not be readable.
