Notes and Tips:

  • Compaq uses CyberLink disc writing software, the same company that makes PowerDVD and MediaShow.
  • The eHow.com guide, as usual, is full of misinformation. Catherine Hewson, eHow Contributor, needs to do her homework. Also, she advises creating multiple sets of backup discs, which is a violation of Compaq EULA. The software will not permit more than one set of discs to be created.
