Troubleshooting
What should I do if I cannot write data to CD media?
❑ Make sure you neither launch any software application nor allow any to launch automatically, not even a screen saver.
❑ Stop using the keyboard.
❑ If you are using a CD-R/RW disc with an adhesive label affixed, replace it with one with no affixed adhesive label. Using
a disc with an affixed adhesive label could cause a write error or other damage.
What should I do if I cannot write data to DVD media?
❑ Make sure you are using the correct DVD recordable media.
❑ Check which DVD recordable format is compatible with your optical disc drive. Note the possibility that some brands of
DVD recordable media do not work.
Why can’t I write data to Blu-ray Discs?

This Q & A entry applies to selected models only. See the online Specifications to find the type of your optical disc drive, and then Reading and Writing
Optical Discs (page 45) to find about the supported disc media.
❑ Make sure your optical disc drive supports the Blu-ray Disc writing function. The CD-RW/DVD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and
DVD±RW/±R DL/RAM drives do not support it.
❑ BD-R Discs are not rewritable media. You cannot add or erase data to or from the BD-R Discs.
