To write data to a CD-RW or CD-R disc
1
You can use Easy CD Creator software to write data to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Easy CD Creator works only if the CD-R or
®
CD-RW disc is formatted; otherwise, your notebook will not recognize it. To create a CD-R disc that is readable in a CD-ROM
drive, make sure you finish the writing process before ejecting it. For more information, see the instructions included with
the Easy CD Creator software.
Note:
For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before writing data to a disc.
For best results, use CD-Rs that are compatible with 8x speed, as Easy CD Creator is preset to that speed. Your notebook
®
does not support 1x writing speed. If you use CD-RW or CD-R writing software other than Easy CD Creator, use
PowerPanel to select the DVD Profile. Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate
these utilities before writing data to a disc.
When using Easy CD Creator Standard, be sure to exit all other applications.
If your notebook computer has preinstalled Microsoft Office applications, such as Excel, Word, and Outlook, turn off the
®
FindFast application.
Do not put your notebook into power saving mode while using Easy CD Creator.
Do not strike or shake the notebook while writing data to a disc.
Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your notebook if you are writing data to a CD-RW or CD-R disc.
Using battery power may result in data transfer failure.
For notebook models equipped with a C D-RW/DV D C ombo Drive.
