What should I do if I cannot write data to CD media?
❑
Make sure you neither launch any software application nor allow any to launch automatically, not even a screen saver.
❑
If you are using a CD-R/RW disc with an adhesive label affixed, replace it with one with no affixed adhesive label. Using
a disc with an affixed adhesive label could cause a write error or other damage.
What should I do if I cannot write data to DVD media?
❑
Make sure you are using the correct DVD recordable media.
❑
Check which DVD recordable format is compatible with your optical disc drive. Some brands of DVD recordable media do
not work.
What should I do if my external optical disc drive does not work properly?
Make sure that your external optical disc drive is connected to an AC power source and the USB port on your computer. If it
is not connected, the external optical disc drive may not work properly.
