Why does m my DirectCD disc says it is not recognized?
A. The reasons are many, and CD/DVD Diagnostic will handle nearly all of them. Usually, problems are caused by:(a) the disc was not ejected when the computer was shut down (b) the computer crashed (c) a problem within DirectCD itself. (d) physical damage to the disc It is difficult to prevent (b) and (c). You can prevent (a) by being sure to eject the disc before shutting down the computer – or even ejecting it when you are finished writing to it before doing anything else. This will help (b) and (c) somewhat as well. The last item, (d) is something that even CD/DVD Diagnostic can have problems with, but it will allow you to access more data than Windows alone will.
