Writing CD/DVDs
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double
Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM discs.
TOSHIBA Disc Creator is provided as writing software with this computer.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the DVD
Super Multi drive, please read and follow all of the setup and operating
instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, you may find that the DVD
Super Multi drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or
rewrite information successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or
incur other damage to the drive or media.
Disclaimer
TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
■
Damage to any CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW,
DVD+R, DVD+R (Double Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM disc that may
be caused by writing or rewriting with this product.
■
Any change or loss of the recorded contents of CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double Layer),

Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you
may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or
problems with hardware devices. In view of this, it is good practice to make
two or more copies of important data, in case of any undesired change or
loss of the recorded contents.

Please refer to the
, Chapter 2 for details about the types
of writable CD/DVD discs that can be supported by this computer.

CD-R/RW media cannot be accessed using the
burn cd/dvd
option in
Media Center.
■
To write data to CD-R/RW media, use the
TOSHIBA Disc Creator
feature that is installed on your computer.
When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is
possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write
process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances
data loss may occur.
