Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the DVD
Super Multi drive or BD-Combo/BD-Writer drive, please read and follow all
of the setup and operating instructions in this section. If you fail to do so,
you may find that the DVD Super Multi drive or BD-Combo/BD-Writer drive
may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite information
successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or incur other damage
to the drive or media.

Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you
may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or
problems with hardware devices. In view of this, it is good practice to make
two or more copies of important data, in case of any undesired change or
loss of the recorded contents.
■ Please refer to the Writable discs, Chapter 2 for details about the types
of writable CD/DVD/BD discs that can be supported by this computer.
■ Do not turn off the power to the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing it as this may cause you to lose data.
■ CD-R/RW media cannot be accessed using the burn cd/dvd option in
Media Center.
■ To write data to CD-R/-RW media, use the TOSHIBA Disc Creator
feature that is installed on your computer.
When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is
possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write
process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances
data loss may occur.
