■You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc with a 2.6 GB single-sided capacity or 5.2 GB double-sided capacity.

■Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able to read DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+R DL/+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 and 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/-R DL/-RW, DVD+R/+R DL/+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 will 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 universal AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.

■Before you enter Sleep/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 in the full-power mode. 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 disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and data damage.

■Write from the computer’s HDD 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.
