in most CD-ROM or CD-Recordable drives:

Permanently save large project files

Share non-editable presentations

Permanently store home records

Share memories with family and friends

Copy your music onto CD for personal use

Make copies of music you created for record company demos

Permanently archive files

Purchase HP CD-RW (ReWritable) media (C4404A)

Available from your local vendor, these CDs can be recorded or read in
CD-ReWritable drives and read in newer MultiRead CD-ROMs.

Purchase HP CD-R (Recordable or write-once) media (C4403A)

Available from your local vendor, these CDs can be read by most CD-
ROM, CD-Recordable, and CD-ReWritable drives (use this type of media
if you want to listen to your music CDs in a stereo).

CD Care and Other Tips

Protect recording surfaces from scratches, fingerprints, and dirt.

Hold CDs by the outer edge or by the center hole.

You can clean a CD with a soft, dry cloth. Commercial CD cleaner or
ethyl alcohol can also be used

Write by hand only on the “white” premarked label side using an oil
based felt tip marker. Do not use a ballpoint pen.

Do not leave a CD in direct sunlight or in a hot, humid location.
