Protecting a CD or DVD Write Process

CAUTION:
To prevent loss of work and damage to a disc:
■
Before writing to a disc, connect the notebook to a reliable external
power source. Do not write to a disc while the notebook is running
on battery power.
■
Before writing to a disc, close all open applications (including
screen savers and antivirus software) except the disc software you
are using.
■
Do not copy directly from a source disc to a destination disc or from
a network drive to a destination disc. Instead, copy from a source
disc or network drive to your hard drive, and then copy from your
hard drive to the destination disc.
■
Do not use the notebook keyboard or move the notebook while
the notebook is writing to a disc. The write process is sensitive to
vibration.
