■ Write from the computer’s HDD to the DVD/CD. Do not try to write
from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network
device.
■ Writing with software other than Drag’n Drop CD has not been
confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be
guaranteed.
When writing or rewriting
Note when you write or rewrite a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or
DVD-RAM:
■ Always copy data from the HDD to the DVD/CD. Do not use
cut-and-paste. The original data will be lost if there is a write error.
■ Before you use the Erase function, make sure the DVD/CD-RW disk
does not contain any data you want to keep. Erase destroys all data
on the disk.

■ Operate the computer for any other function, including use of a
mouse or Touch pad, closing/opening the LCD panel.
■ Start a communication application such as a modem.

following:
PC card, SD card, SmartMedia, USB devices, external display,
i.LINK devices, optical digital devices.
■ Use the Mode control button and Audio/Video control button to
reproduce music and voice.
■ Open the DVD drive.
■ If the media is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting
errors may occur.
■ Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to
vibration such as airplanes, trains or cars. Do not use an unstable
surface such as a stand.
