Writable discs
This section describes the types of writable discs. Check the specifications

Writing discs
The TOSHIBA Disc Creator is provided as writing software with this
computer.
TOSHIBA Disc Creator can be used to write data.
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW or
DVD-RAM discs.
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.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the Optical
Disc 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 Optical
Disc 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.
