Important message (HD DVD-RW drive)

Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the HD DVD-

RW drive, please read and follow all of the setup and operating instructions

in this section. If you fail to do so, you may find that the HD DVD-RW drive

may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite information

successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or incur other damage

to the drive or media.

The optical drive installed on this computer cannot write multiple sessions

on HD DVD-R DL disc sessions. Once a disc has been written to once, it

will be finalized. Once finalized, no further writing to the disc will be

possible regardless of what portion of the total disc capacity was used.

When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should

always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is

possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write

process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - these instances

data loss may occur.
