Chapter 2. Using the CD-RW/DVD drive
This section provides information on how to handle, load, and care for DVDs
and CDs and how to care for your CD-RW/DVD drive.
Before you begin
For best results, review the following guidelines before using the drive:
v Do not move your ThinkPad computer while formatting or writing a disc as
this might cause data errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or
writing to a disc, as this might also cause data errors.
v
Keep the ThinkPad computer on a flat surface when writing to a disc.
v
Make sure the ThinkPad computer is plugged into an ac outlet when using
the drive. The disc might be damaged if the battery runs out while writing
to a disc.
v
Turn screensavers off. Using a screensaver might interrupt the formatting
and writing process.
v Do not put your ThinkPad computer into hibernation or suspend mode
while writing to a disc.
Note: The read and write results of the drive depend upon the quality and
characteristics of the DVD or CD media used.
Handling and caring for a disc
Carefully handle and clean discs, especially writable media types such as CD-R
and CD-RW discs, so that they remain readable. You can prolong the life of
your discs by using the following precautions.
Attention: Wiping a disc using a circular motion can cause data loss.
