Installing DLA Software
The DLA software is not preinstalled on your PC.
Important:
Installing the DLA program disables the
CD Writing Wizard program.
DLA allows you to use your DVD Writer/
CD Writer drive as you would a diskette drive,
by copying files to disc or by using a drag-and-
drop method.
To get and install the DLA program:
1 Go to the Web site:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport
2 Type your model number into the Search box
(for example, Media Center 863n).
3 Click drivers and downloads for your
model. Click applications, if it is present.
4 Choose DLA, and then follow the onscreen
instructions to download and install the
program.
Recording with DLA
Important:
Format a blank CD or DVD before copying
files directly to a CD or DVD. If you don’t, a
message appears telling you to format the disc or
telling you that your drive is not accessible.
1 Press the Eject button on the drive and insert
the blank disc.
2 Click Start, and then click My Computer.
3 Right-click the drive icon and select Format.
4 Under Volume Label, type in the title of
the disc.
5 Under Format type, select Full or Quick
(erase). You must select the quick format for
all CD-R or DVD+R discs. You must select the
full format for a CD-RW or a DVD+RW disc the
first time you format it.
Note:
Full format can take up to 45 minutes. Quick
format usually takes less than a minute.
