Operating Basics
n
TOSHIBA Disc Creator cannot record in packet format.
n
You might not be able to use the “Disc Backup” function of TOSHIBA Disc 
Creator to back up a DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R 
(Double Layer) or DVD+RW disc that was made with other software on a 
different optical media recorder.
n
If you add data to a DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD+R or DVD+R (Double 
Layer) disc that you have already recorded to, you might not be able to read 
the added data under some circumstances. For example, it cannot be read 
under 16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 98SE and Windows Me, 
while in Windows NT4 you will need Service Pack 6 or later, and in Windows 
2000, you will need Service Pack 2. In addition to this, some DVD-ROM and 
DVD-ROM/CD-R/RW drives cannot read this added data regardless of the 
operating system.
n
TOSHIBA Disc Creator does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs - to 
achieve this you should use Windows Explorer or another similar utility.
n
When you back up a DVD disc, be sure that the source drive supports 
recording to DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double 
Layer) or DVD+RW media - if this is not the case then the source disc might 
not be backed up correctly.
n
When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R 
(Double Layer) or DVD+RW disc, be sure to use the same type of disc.
n
You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW, DVD-RW or 
DVD+RW disc.
