Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drives
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM discs. TOSHIBA
Disc Creator and Ulead DVD MovieFactory are provided as writing
software with this computer.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the DVD
Super Multi 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 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.

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.
