Using DVD-RAM Disc
To write a fi le to a DVD-RAM disc, logical formatting is required.
It is possible to write a fi le to a logically formatted DVD-RAM disc in the same way as
writing to a fl oppy disk or hard disk.
For further information, refer to the online manual of "DVD-RAM Software" (
14).
NOTE
If you write using "Roxio Creator LJB", because the format is different, it will no
longer be possible to write using applications other than "Roxio Creator LJB".
Logical formatting type
There are two types of formatting for DVD-RAM discs: UDF (Universal Disk Format)
and FAT32.
We recommend that you choose the formatting type depending on the application.
Logical formatting
Formatting software and drivers required to conduct each type of formatting have been
installed in this computer.
CAUTION
When formatting is executed, recorded data is erased and can no longer be read.
Back up data as required.
Before starting up formatting software, close all application software that uses
DVD-RAM discs.
1 Log on to Windows as an administrator.
2 Set the DVD-RAM disc to be formatted in the drive.
3 Click [start] - [All Programs] - [DVD-RAM] - [DVD-RAM Driver] - [DVDForm].
4 Click in [Format Type] to select the format, and click [Start].
• [Volume label]
Input the volume label.
• [Execute physical format]
Inspect all sectors on the disc, and execute replacement processing of bad sectors.
(Normally, it is not necessary to select this.)
NOTE
DVDForm can be used only when logging on with administrator authority.
