Operating Basics
n TOSHIBA Disc Creator cannot record in packet format.
n You might not be able to use the "Disc Backup" function of TOSHIBA Disc
Creator to back up a DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R
(Double Layer) or DVD+RW disc that was made with other software on a
different optical media recorder.
n If you add data to a DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD+R or DVD+R (Double
Layer) disc that you have already recorded to, you might not be able to read
the added data under some circumstances. For example, it cannot be read
under 16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 98SE and Windows Me,
while in Windows NT4 you will need Service Pack 6 or later, and in Windows
2000, you will need Service Pack 2. In addition to this, some DVD-ROM and
DVD-ROM/CD-R/RW drives cannot read this added data regardless of the
operating system.
n TOSHIBA Disc Creator does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs - to
achieve this you should use Windows Explorer or another similar utility.
When you back up a DVD disc, be sure that the source drive supports
n
recording to DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double
Layer) or DVD+RW media - if this is not the case then the source disc might
not be backed up correctly.
n When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R
(Double Layer) or DVD+RW disc, be sure to use the same type of disc.
n You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW, DVD-RW or
DVD+RW disc.
