Before you begin
For best results, review the following guidelines before using the drive:
v Do not move your ThinkPad computer while formatting or writing a disc as this
might cause data errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or writing to a
disc, as this might also cause data errors.

characteristics of the DVD or CD media used.
