Writable discs

This section describes the types of writable CD discs. Check
the specifications of your drive for the type of discs it can
write.

CDs

❖
CD-R discs can be written only once. The recorded data
cannot be erased or changed.
❖
CD-RW discs can be recorded more than once. Use either
1, 2, or 4 multi speed CD-RW discs or high-speed 4- to
10-speed discs. The write speed of the ultra-speed CD-
RW discs (Ultra-speed is available on the DVD-ROM &
CD-R/RW drive only) is a maximum of 24-speed.
Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the
drive in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage
the disc or the drive.
When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or
the area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to
malfunction.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil
lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.
