Chapter 2. Using the CD-RW/DVD drive

This section provides information on how to handle, load, and care for DVDs and CDs and how to care for your CD-RW/DVD drive.

Before you begin

For best results, review the following guidelines before using the drive:

vDo not move your ThinkPad computer while formatting or writing a disc as this might cause data errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or writing to a disc, as this might also cause data errors.

vKeep the ThinkPad computer on a flat surface when writing to a disc.

vMake sure the ThinkPad computer is plugged into an ac outlet when using the drive. The disc might be damaged if the battery runs out while writing to a disc.

vTurn screensavers off. Using a screensaver might interrupt the formatting and writing process.

vDo not put your ThinkPad computer into hibernation or suspend mode while writing to a disc.

Note: The read and write results of the drive depend upon the quality and characteristics of the DVD or CD media used.

Handling and caring for a disc

Carefully handle and clean discs, especially writable media types such as CD-R and CD-RW discs, so that they remain readable. You can prolong the life of your discs by using the following precautions.

Attention: Wiping a disc using a circular motion can cause data loss.
