Writing CDs on CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
Some models are equipped with CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive which can be
used to write data to either CD-R or CD-RW discs. The following
applications for writing are supplied: TOSHIBA Disc Creator.
Important message (CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive)
Before you write or rewrite to CD-R/RW disc, read and follow all setup and
operating instructions in this section.
If you fail to do so, the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive may not function properly,
and you may fail to write or rewrite, lose data or incur other damage.
Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of
the manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be
guaranteed.
CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the
way it is used.
Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.
Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing
software.
Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load
on the CPU.
Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.
Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish,
then disable virus detection programs including any software that
checks files automatically in the background.
Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD
access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.
CD-R discs can be written to only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten
many times.
