Writing CD/DVD on DVD Super Multi drive

The optical drive installed on this computer cannot write multiple sessions
on DVD-R Dual Layer disc sessions. Once a disc has been written to once,
it will be finalized. Once finalized, no further writing to the disc will be
possible regardless of what portion of the total disc capacity was used.
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double
Layer), DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, or DVD-R (Dual Layer) discs.
TOSHIBA Disc Creator can be used to write data.
Please refer to the section
the types of writable CD and DVD discs that can be supported by this
computer.
Do not turn off the power to the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing it as this may cause you to 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.
