Setting Automatic Recording Options
When you first insert a blank CD into your DVD Writer or CD Writer drive,
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP may give you options for the type of disc you insert.
NOTE:
When you insert a blank DVD into your DVD Writer/CD Writer drive, an options window does not appear. You must open the program you want to use with your DVD, and then perform an action.
For example, if you insert a blank CD-RW disc, you see options such as:
•
Open writeable CD folder using Windows Explorer.
•
Create a disc using RecordNow!
•
Take no action.
The options displayed depend on what software is on the PC.
You can choose to have a specific action occur automatically each time you insert a blank CD by selecting the Always do the selected action box.
If you later decide that you want to change the option you have set:
1 Click Start.
2 Click My Computer.
3 Right-click the DVD Writer/CD Writer drive icon and select Properties.
