Operating Basics

If you add data to a DVD-R/-R DL and DVD+R/+R DL disc that you

have already recorded to, you might not be able to read the added data

under some circumstances. It cannot be read in 16-bit operating

systems, such as Windows 98 SE and Windows ME. In Windows NT 4,

you will need Service Pack 6 or later to read added data. In Windows

2000, you will need Service Pack 2 or later to read it. Some DVD-ROM

and CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives cannot read added data regardless of

the operating system.

RecordNow! does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs. To record

to a DVD-RAM, use Explorer or other utility.

When you back up a DVD disc, be sure the source drive supports

recording to DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+R DL/+RW discs. If the

source drive does not support recording to DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/

+RW discs, it might not be backed up correctly.

When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW, be sure to

use the same type of disc.

You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW, DVD-RW or

DVD+RW disc.
