Troubleshooting
My Recording Failed
If your recording failed, try the following, and then
record your files again:
• Close all other programs, and don’t perform any
tasks while recording.
• Enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) on your PC.
• Reduce maximum recording speed.
• Make sure you select the correct drive before
recording. RecordNow! selects the first optical
drive it finds, but you can select the drive in
RecordNow! before you begin recording.
• Make sure you have enough space available on
your hard disk drive for RecordNow! to store a
temporary copy of your CD.
• RecordNow! can record only to the same disc
type it records from. For example, you can
record a DVD only to a DVD+R or DVD+RW
disc, and you can record a CD only to a CD-R
or a CD-RW disc.
• When you create a DVD or CD, RecordNow!
does not let you add a track if it exceeds the
available space on your disc. Most CD-R discs
can record about 80 minutes. You can make
space available by removing one or more
tracks from the list before recording the
remaining files to CD.
I Can’t Add Files to My Music CD
When recording a music CD, RecordNow! creates
a closed session CD, which means no additional
files can be added to that disc after the initial
recording.
