Writing to DVD-RAM
Logical formatting must be executed to write a file to a DVD-RAM. It is possible to write a file to a logically formatted DVD-
RAM in the same way as writing a file to a floppy disk or hard disk.
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. To enable writing, it will be necessary to select [Quick format] when formatting the disc.
Refer to [Using DVD-RAM disc].
To display:
Click [start] - [All Programs] - [DVD-RAM] - [DVD-RAM Driver] - [Using DVD-RAM disc].
When [DVD-RAM] is not displayed even if you click [start] - [All Programs], install DVD-RAM Driver.
