Formatting a DVD-RAM disc with the standard format program included in Windows 95AA/indows 98
results in a FAT16 format that exceeds the 2.0 GB limit, which can interfere with subsequent use.

• Executing Format software on Windows NT

The following notes apply to the logical format of PD cartridge, too. (See page 23.)

(1) When using the format software, you must login with the user name that belongs to “Administrator

(2) You must close all applications used on a DVD-RAM disc or a PD cartridge prior to formatting.

Reading and writing a DVD-RAM disc

Once you have logically formatted a DVD-RAM disc, it can be used to read and write files just as you would
with a hard disk or floppy disk.

For instance, if the [Removable Disk] icon assigned to this DVD-RAM drive is recognized as D drive, insert the
DVD-RAM disc and perform the operations from D drive.
(The actual drive letter of the DVD-RAM drive will differ according to the environment of the system you are
using.)

Note:

The error checking and optimizing programs cannot be used on a UDF-formatted DVD-RAM disc.
