Writing CDs on a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
You can use the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive to write data to CD-R/RW discs.
This application for writing is preinstalled: TOSHIBA Disc Creator.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to CD-R/RW media, 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.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the disc
drive. Wait for the optical disc indicator to go out before you open the

before you remove it.
■ In When the drawer pops open slightly, wait a moment to make sure
the disc has stopped spinning before pulling the drawer fully open.
■ Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the disc is spinning
when you open the drawer, it could fly off the spindle and cause injury.
