TROUBLESHOOTING : Writing Discs
SYMPTOMS
CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
Cannot write to CD-R or
CD-RW disc.
CD-R or CD-RW software cannot
detect veloCD.
1. You are using authoring software
other than that bundled with
your veloCD.
2. CD-R or CD-RW media is not
supported.
3. Disc inserted upside down.
4. Lack of hard drive capacity.
This varies with different
software packages. Contact
the software vendor or check
their documentation for
recommendations.
1. Power connector is not attached
to veloCD.
2. IDE cable isn’t connected properly.
3. Drive or IDE bus is not enabled in
the computer’s BIOS.
1. Use the authoring software
provided with the veloCD.
To use other types of authoring
software, contact the supplier and
ensure the software supports the
veloCD CD-RW drive. Supported
software lists can also be found
on the TDK web site at
www.velocd.tdk.com.
2. Use CD-R or CD-RW media
recommended by TDK in the
Appendix.
3. Eject the disc from tray and load
it with the label side up.
4. Delete files from your hard drive
to free up sufficient space; or use
another hard drive.
1. Ensure the computer’s power
cable is securely attached to the
veloCD’s power connector.
When the computer’s power is
turned ON, confirm that the
veloCD’s indicator LED is
illuminated briefly, then is
extinguished.
Try connecting another power
cable to the veloCD.
2. Ensure that the IDE cable is
securely inserted, and is not
damaged. Check the connector
pins to ensure they are not bent.
3. Ensure the IDE port is enabled
and set properly in motherboard’s
BIOS. See "Make Sure the Drive
Is Recognized" on page 13 for
more details.
4. Jumper conflict.
4. Check jumpers for the veloCD
drive and the other peripheral
devices (hard drive or CD-ROM
drive) on the same IDE cable.
Ensure the jumper for one device
is set to Master and the other to
Slave. Two devices on one cable
cannot be set to the same setting.
