Samsung Optical Disc Drive
Caution: Possible errors
The drive uses laser light to write data onto the surface of the disc. Writing errors can occur if
you use a damaged disc. Make sure to prevent the conditions below before you start to write a
disc.
Note
These settings are recommended for all drives.
1. Do not use multitasking. Disable the screen saver.
A buffer under-run can occur if the system uses multitasking while the drive writes data.
2. Do not let any outside computer access the host PC while the drive writes data.
An error can occur if another user accesses a network printer while the drive writes
data.
3. Disable the CD auto-run feature of all drives.
If you insert an auto-run CD into another drive within the same system while the drive
writes data, this can cause an error.
4.
It is recommended that you use the image fle format when you write a large number of
small-sized fles.
When there are many small fles to write, the transfer rate decreases and the Buffer
under run protection feature works at a more frequent rate. This causes a lower writing
quality.
If you are doing a CD-to-CD copy, it is not necessary to verify if you have available
space on your hard disc.
However, in the case of image fles, we recommend that you make sure you to have at
least two times the amount of space needed for the data on your hard disc. This is
because image fles are copied to the hard disc before they are copied to the media.
5. Do not use more than one type of writing software.
Before you install a writing program, make sure to frst uninstall existing versions of the
program or other writing programs. After you uninstall any software, restart the PC.
(The Windows operating system can be damaged if you install different language
versions)
Note
We recommend that you use the data recording software provided by Samsung.
If you use other recording software, this can cause an error.
