Frequently Asked Question #1

Question:

I'm trying to burn a CD, but when I go to backup my files I get the error message “Not enough space”. I have a blank CD, why am I getting this error?

Answer:

You are receiving this message because the:
- disc is actually written on
- files selected are too big,
- drive itself did not properly recognize the disc.

First, verify the type of media you are trying to record on. If you have a CD burner, you will need either a CD-R or CD-RW. If it’s a DVD burner, either a DVD-R or DVD-RW will work. As well, ensure that the disc is blank if it is a DVD-R/CD-R. If you are still having issues, back out to the main menu, and reinsert the blank disc from the main menu. This will allow the drive more time to read it before you try to burn to it.
