A CD-RW(CD-ReWritable) disk is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase and rewrite a

 

 

 

Notebook

 

 

 

program or other data.

 

 

 

￿

A CD-R(CD-Recordable) is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program or other data,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but only once.

 

 

 

 

￿

You can use the Drag'n Drop CD software to write data to a CD-R or CD-RW.

￿

To make a CD-R’s data readable on a CD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To

 

 

 

complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.

 

 

 

 

￿

Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your computer when you write data to a CD-RW or

 

 

 

 

CD-R. It is not possible to burn CDs when the CD-RW/DVD docking station is not connected to AC power.

 

 

 

￿

Only use circular disks. Do not use disks with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage

 

 

 

 

the CD-RW drive.

 

 

 

 

￿

Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disk.

 

 

 

 

￿

For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disk.

 

 

 

 

￿

Memory-resident disk utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities

 

 

 

 

before writing data to a disk.

 

 

 

 

￿

For best results, use CD-Rs that are compatible with 4x speed.

 

 

 

 

￿

When using a software to burn CDs, be sure to exit and close all other applications.

 

 

 

 

￿

Exit anti-virus software before writing data to a disk.

 

 

 

 

￿

Never touch the surface of the disk. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disk may cause writing

 

 

 

 

errors.

 

 

 

 

￿

Do not put your notebook into a power saving mode while using a software to write data to CDs.
