<When writing to CD-R/RW discs>
Using the CD-ROM of the CD-ROM writer software (included), install the application

If the write operation is to involve a long period of time, be sure to connect the AC
adaptor. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write
operation may end in failure.
Depending on the disc, the quality of the write operation may not be so good. We
