Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive

You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R/RW or DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW/-RAM discs. The TOSHIBA Disc Creator and the TOSHIBA Direct Disc Writer are provided for writing.

■Refer to the Writable discs, in Chapter 2 for details about the types of writable CD/DVD discs.

■Do not turn off the power of the optical disc drive while the computer is accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data.

■CD-R/RW media cannot be accessed using the Create CD/DVD option in Media Center.

■To write data to CD-R/-RW media, use the TOSHIBA Disc Creator feature that is installed on your computer.
