Writing 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.
NOTE: CD-R disks can be written to only once. CD-RW disks 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:
TAIYOYUDEN CO., LTD.
Mitsui Chemicals Inc.
MITUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION
RICOH Co., Ltd.
Hitachi Maxell Ltd.
CD-RW: MITUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION
RICOH Co., Ltd.
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the manufac-
turers 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.
