My floppy disk drive cannot write to a disk
❑
The floppy disk may be write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or use a disk that is not write-
protected.
❑
Check that the disk is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.
When I double-click an application icon, a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your
drive' appears and the software does not start
❑
Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM.
Insert the disc and try starting the program again.
❑
Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing outwards.
Why does my CD-RW not record at the highest speed?
For the CD-RW drive, you must use 24x CD-R or 10x CD-RW media to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting the disc with the above speeds, change
the writing speed to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1
Go to
My Computer
from the
Start
menu.
2
Right-click the disc drive icon.
3
Select
Properties
.
4
Select the
Recordings
tab.
5
Under
Desktop CD recording
, change the current writing speed to
4x
.
6
Click
OK
.
The speed is changed and recording should run smoothly.
