Operating Basics

TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the 

manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.

■

CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the 

actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the 

way it is used.

■

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

■

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 at full power. Do not use power-saving features.

■

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

then disable virus detection programs including any software that 

checks files automatically in the background.

■

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

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

■

Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD. Do not try to write from 

shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.

■

Writing with software other than RecordNow! has not been confirmed. 

Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.

When writing or rewriting

Note the following when you write or rewrite a CD-R or CD-RW.

■

Always copy data from the HDD to the CD. Do not use cut-and-paste. 

The original data will be lost if there is a write error.

■

Do not perform any of the following actions:

■

Change users in the Windows XP operating system.

■

Operate the computer for any other function, including use of a 

mouse or Touch Pad, closing/opening the LCD panel.

■

Start a communication application such as a modem.

■

Apply impact or vibration to the PC.

■

Install, remove or connect external devices, including the following: 

PC Card, USB devices, external display, i.LINK devices, optical 

digital devices.

■

Open the optical media drive.

■

If the media is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting 

errors may occur.

■

Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to 

vibration such as airplanes, trains, or cars. Do not use an unstable 

surface such as a stand.

■

Keep mobile phones and other wireless communication devices away 

from the computer.
