Before Writing Or Rewriting - Toshiba Satellite A200 Series User Manual

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. Also, it is a good idea to make two or
more copies of important data, in case of undesired change or loss of the
recorded contents.

Before writing or rewriting

Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite data.
Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the
following manufacturers of CD-R/RW and DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM
