■ If the media is of poor quality, or is dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting
errors may occur.

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-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double
Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM discs. The TOSHIBA Disc Creator is
provided as writing software with this computer.
■ Please refer to the Writable discs, Chapter 2 for details about the types
of writable CD and DVD 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.
■ 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.
