Writing CDs on DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive
Depending on the type of drive installed, you may be able to write CDs.
The DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW 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 disc drives section.
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.
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the
manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
■ The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW is affected by the quality of the
disc 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.
■ Refer to the Writable discs section in Chapter 2 for details about the
types of writable CD/DVD discs.
■ Do not turn off the power of the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data.
When writing to media using an optical disc drive, always connect the AC
adaptor to a power plug socket. If data is written while powered by the
battery pack, writing may sometimes fail due to low battery power and data
loss may occur.
