Operating Basics

■

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

able to read DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+R DL/+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 and DVD-RW, DVD+RW and 

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.

■

In writing to a DVD-R/-R DL/-RW, DVD+R/+R DL/+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 will 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 universal AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.

■

Before you enter sleep/hibernation mode, be sure to finish DVD-RAM 

writing. Writing is finished if you can eject 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 in the full-power mode. 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 disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD 

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

■

Write from the computer’s HDD 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 TOSHIBA Disc Creator is not 

recommended.

Please observe/consider the following when you write or rewrite to a CD-

R/-RW, DVD-R/-R DL/-RW/-RAM or DVD+R/+R DL/+RW disc.

■

Do not perform any of the following actions:

■

Change users in the Windows Vista™ operating system.

■

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