Formatting Recording Media

To record information to a disc using Drag-to-Disc, use a CD 
formatted for Drag-to-Disc. Drag-to-Disc will automatically 
format blank discs.

Formatting a disc in Drag-to-Disc may take up to 45 minutes to 
complete.

To record information to a CD using Creator Classic or Disc 
Copier, do not use a CD formatted for Drag-to-Disc or erase the 
information from a rewriteable disc to use it again.

To manually format a disc so that it can be used in Creator Classic 
or Disc Copier:

1. Insert a disc into the optical drive.

2. Open Drag-to-Disc:

In Windows 2000,

 select Start > Programs > Roxio Easy 

CD and DVD Creator 6 > Drag-to-Disc.

In Windows XP,

 select Start > All Programs > Roxio 

Easy CD and DVD Creator 6 > Drag-to-Disc.

3. Open the Drag-to-Disc menu.

4. Select Manually Format Disc, and choose the format settings.

To format a disc for use with only Drag-to-Disc, select 
Quick Format.

To format a disc for use with another application, select 
Full Format.

5. Select OK.
