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