Removing a disc with the computer on (tray-type drive)
To remove an optical disc with the computer turned on:
1 Press the eject button on the drive.
2 Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and
place it in its protective cover.
Handle DVDs and CDs carefully, making contact only with the center
hole and edge. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Do not stack
discs. If you incorrectly handle the discs, you could lose data.
If you insert the disc incorrectly, it may jam the drive. If this happens,
contact Toshiba support for assistance.
Do not press the eject button while the drive in-use indicator light is
glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for
it to stop spinning before you remove it.
