If the CD-RW drive stops writing
HINT: If you must
disable standby mode to
write to a CD-RW drive,
remember to enable
standby mode again when
you finish writing the CD.
If you have a hard drive problem
CLEAN THE DISC— See the Tell Me How help file for instructions. To access,
help files, see page 26.
DISABLE STANDBY MODE IN WINDOWS BEFORE WRITING TO A
CD-RW
DISK— Search for the keyword standby in Windows Help. To access
help files, see page 26.
CHANGE THE WRITE SPEED TO A SLOWER RATE—The CD-RW drive
must receive a steady stream of data when writing. If the stream is interrupted, an
error occurs. Closing all programs before writing to the CD-RW may also
alleviate the problem.
