In writing to a DVD-R/-RW disc, some disc space is required for file
management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the
disc.
Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it will be filled with
dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you
write only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the
dummy data.
DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000
without DVD-RAM Driver Software.
Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite data.
When multiple drives that can be written are connected, be careful not
to write to the wrong drive.
Be sure to connect the AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.
Before you enter standby/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 in the full-power mode. 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
HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and data
damage.
Write from the computer's HDD to the CD/DVD. Do not try to write
from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network
device.
Writing with software other than Drag'n Drop CD+DVD is not
recommended.
When writing or rewriting
Please observe/consider the following when you write or rewrite to a CD-
R/-RW or DVD-R/-RW/-RAM disc.
Do not perform any of the following actions when writing or rewriting:
