Operating Basics

■ We can support only Format1 of DVD-R DL. Therefore you cannot do

the additional writing. If your data is under 4.7 GB, we suggest to use

DVD-R (SL) media.

■ You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and

DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You can not use a disc

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

■ 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 TOSHIBA Disc Creator is not

recommended.
