Troubleshooting
What should I do if I cannot write to CD?
❑
Do not launch any software application or allow any to launch automatically, not even a screen saver.
❑
Do not use the keyboard.
❑
Do not use a CD-R/RW disc that has a label affixed to it. This could cause a write error or other damage.
What should I do if I cannot write to DVD?
This Q & A entry applies to selected models only. See the online Specifications to see whether your model is equipped with
an optical disc drive capable of DVD writing.
❑
Are you using the correct DVD recordable media?
❑
Check which DVD recordable format is compatible with the computer's built-in DVD recorder (DVD-R / DVD-RW / DVD+R
/ DVD+RW). Note the possibility that some brands of DVD recordable media do not work.
❑
The preinstalled software on the computer does not support copying DVD movies. Macrovision or a similar video
protection technology prevents users from copying DVD movies. Copying a DVD movie would be a copyright infringement
and therefore illegal.
