Writing DVD/CDs
In addition to letting you play DVD/CDs, the CD-RW/DVD-ROMdrive lets
you record data to CD-R and CD-RW discs.
CD-R discs can be written to only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten
many times.

actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media.

software.
Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy
load on the CPU.
Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving
features.
Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish,
then disable virus detection programs including any software that
checks files automatically in the background.

HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage
