Using CD-R and CD-RW

The CD-RW/DVD drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs cannot be erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM drives and CD players.

You can use CD-R discs to record audio tracks, store data, archive files, and copy files from another CD.

CD-RW discs can be erased and rewritten, but can be used only with newer MR- and CD-RW-compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. You can use CD-RW discs to back up, store, and update files or to copy files from another CD.

Notes:

1.CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not playable on most audio CD players.

2.The software included in this option kit does not enable the drive’s CD-recording capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.x, or OS/2 operating systems.

For more information on using the software, refer to the online user’s guide on the software CD.
