with a 2.6GB single-sided capacity and 5.2GB double-sided capacity.

■

Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be 

able to read DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs.

■

Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disc cannot be deleted either in 

whole or in part.

■

Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-

RAM disc cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully 

before you delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are 

connected, be careful not to delete data from the wrong drive.

■

When writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW or DVD-RAM disc, some 

disc space is required for file management, so you may not be able to 

write the full capacity of the disc.

■

Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it might be filled with 

dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write 

only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.

■

DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000 

without DVD-RAM Driver Software.

■

When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be 

careful not to write to the wrong drive.

■

Be sure to connect the AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.

■

Before you enter Sleep Mode/Hibernation Mode, be sure to complete 

DVD-RAM writing. Writing is complete if you can eject the DVD-RAM 

media.

■

Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing 

software.

■

Do not run software such as a screen saver, which can put a heavy load 

on the CPU.

■

Operate the computer under the power scheme High Performance. Do 

not use power-saving features.

■

Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish 

and then disable virus detection programs including any software that 

checks files automatically in the background.

■

Do not use hard disc utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD 

access speed. They may cause unstable operation and data damage.

■

CD-RW (Ultra speed) media should not be used as data may be lost or 

damaged.

■

Write from the computer's hard disc drive to the CD/DVD. Do not try to 

write from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network 

device.

■

Writing with software other than Corel Movie factory for TOSHIBA is not 

recommended.
