My floppy disk drive cannot write to a disk
❑ The disk may be write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or use a floppy disk that is not write-
protected.
❑ Check that the disk is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.
❑ Your floppy disk may be corrupt. Try to insert another disk.
When I double-click an application icon a message such as You must insert the application CD into your
CD-ROM 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 up.
Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed*?
You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Click Start and then My Computer.
2 Right-click the Compact Disc icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Recording tab.
5 From the lower dropdown list, select the 2x write speed.
6 Click Apply and then OK.
* CD-RW drive only available on some models. See the Specifications document for details.
