stance, even if you write only a small amount of data, it might take addi-
tional time to fill in the dummy data.
◆ When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be sure that
you do not write to or delete data from the wrong drive.
◆ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to the computer before you write or
rewrite any information.
◆ Before you enter either Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode, take care to
ensure that any DVD-RAM writing has been completed. In this instance,
writing is finished if you can eject the DVD-RAM media.
◆ Be sure to close all other software programs except for the writing software
itself.
◆ Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load on the
processor.
◆ Operate the computer at its full power settings - do not use any power-saving
features.
◆ Do not write information while virus checking software is running, instead
wait for it to finish, then disable the virus protection applications, including
any software that checks files automatically in the background.
◆ Do not use any hard disk utilities, including those that are intended to
enhance hard disk drive access speeds, as they may cause unstable operation
and damage data.
◆ CD-RW (Ultra Speed +) media should not be used as data may be lost or
damaged.
◆ You should always write from the computer's hard disk drive onto the CD/
DVD/HD DVD - do not try to write from shared devices such as a server or
any other network device.
◆ Writing with software other than TOSHIBA Disc Creator has not been con-
firmed, therefore operation with other software applications cannot be guar-
anteed.
When writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points while you write or rewrite data to CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double
Layer), DVD+RW, DVD-RAM or HD DVD-R media:
◆ Always copy data from the hard disk drive to the optical disc - do not use the
cut-and-paste function as the original data will be lost if there is a write
error.
