Writing CDs on CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
Depending on the type of drive installed, you may be able to write CDs.
The CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive lets you write as well as read CD-ROMs.
Observe the precautions in this section to ensure the best performance
for writing CDs. For information on loading and unloading CDs refer to the
Using optical media drive section.
CD-R discs can be written to only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten
many times.
Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
■ We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.
CD-R:
TAIYOYUDENCO.,LTD.
Mitsui Chemicals Inc.
MITSUBISHICHEMICALCORPORATION
RICOH Co., Ltd.
Hitachi Maxell Ltd.
CD-RW:
MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION
RICOH Co., Ltd.
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the
manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
■ CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and
the way it is used.
■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.
■ Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing
software.
■ Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy
load on the CPU.
■ Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving
features.
■ Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish,
then disable virus detection programs including any software that
checks files automatically in the background
■ Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance
HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage
data.
■ Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD. Do not try to write from
shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.
