Toshiba P200 manual When writing or rewriting

About the HD DVD

■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 at full power. Do not use power-saving features.

■Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish, 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 hard disk access speed, as they may cause unstable operation and damage data.

■Write from the computer's hard disk drive to the CD. 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 or Ulead DVD MovieFactory® for TOSHIBA has not been confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.
