Before Writing Or Rewriting - Toshiba Satellite R800 Series User Manual

Writing discs
The TOSHIBA Disc Creator is provided as writing software with this
computer.
TOSHIBA Disc Creator can be used to write data.
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW or
DVD-RAM discs.
When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is
possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write
process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances
data loss may occur.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the Optical
Disc Drive, please read and follow all of the setup and operating
instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, you may find that the Optical
Disc Drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite
information successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or incur
other damage to the drive or media.

TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
■
Damage to any disc that may be caused by writing or rewriting with this

Any change or loss of the recorded contents of media that may be
caused by writing or rewriting with this product, or for any business
profit loss or business interruption that may be caused by the change or

Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you
may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or
problems with hardware devices. In view of this, it is good practice to make
two or more copies of important data, in case of any undesired change or
loss of the recorded contents.
