read the CD-RW.
c If this drive has not been recognized correctly by the
computer, normal read/write operation is not possible.
See the section “Drive is not detected by the computer”
on page 44.
c If the supplied software has not been installed correctly,
writing is not possible.
c If the drive was brought from a cold to a warm location,
condensation may have formed inside the drive. Allow
the unit to stand for a while.
c If a CD-R or CD-RW disc was written with “Drag’n
Drop CD+DVD”, it is not disc possible to add data after:
• Creating a music CD with the “Music” box.
• Creating a DVD or CD backup with the “DISC
Backup” box.
• Selecting “Close disc” in “DATA DISC Options”.
c The DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, or
CD-RW disc may already be full. If a disc is full, you
cannot add data.
c You cannot write data to DVD+RW, DVD-RW, or CD-R
discs for which data writing ended in failure. Delete the
data and then rewrite the disc.
Follow the procedure below to delete data from
DVD+RW, DVD-RW, or CD-RW discs. (Use “Drag’n
Drop CD+DVD”.)
1 Close all applications other than “Drag’n Drop CD”,
and then insert the disc that you want to erase into the
drive.
2 Right-click over the “Drag’n Drop CD+DVD” box,
and then select “Erase RW disc”.
3 Select “Quick erase” or “Full erase”, and then click
“OK”.
c You cannot reuse DVD+R, DVD-R, or CD-R discs to
which data writing ended in failure.
c Make sure that the disc has been inserted correctly, with
the side to be played facing down.
c As a rule, it takes more time to read a CD-RW than it
does a CD-R or CD-ROM. There are also major
difference between disc formats, which may also
affect reading time.
