Using Cd-R And Cd-Rw; Backing Up A Cd; Problem Solving - IBM ULTRABAY 2000 User Manual

Using CD-R and CD-RW

The CD-RW/DVD drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs
cannot be erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM drives and CD
players.
You can use CD-R discs to record audio tracks, store data, archive files, and
copy files from another CD.
CD-RW discs can be erased and rewritten, but can be used only with newer
MR- and CD-RW-compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. You can use
CD-RW discs to back up, store, and update files or to copy files from another
CD.
Notes:
1. CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not
playable on most audio CD players.
2. The software included in this option kit does not enable the drive's
CD-recording capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.x, or OS/2 operating
systems.
For more information on using the software, refer to the online user's guide on
the software CD.
