Writing data to CD-RW/CD-R media (For models with a CD-RW/
DVD Combo Drive)
You can use Easy CD Creator™ software to write data to a CD-R or CD-RW. To
use Easy CD Creator, see the online help manual that comes with the software.
Using PC Cards
Your notebook includes two PC Card slots. PC Cards enable you to connect
portable external devices such as another hard disk drive, or to connect a
network.
To insert a PC Card
✍
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 4x speed.
Do not put your notebook into power saving mode while using Easy CD Creator.
Do not touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a
disc may cause writing errors.
Do not strike or shake the notebook while writing data to a disc.
Memory-resident disc utilities, such as the screen saver and virus checker, may
cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before writing
data to a disc.
Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your notebook when you are
writing data to a CD-R or CD-RW. Using battery power may result in data
transfer failure.
✍
The PC Card slots can accommodate two Type I/II PC Cards, or one Type III PC Card.
These slots are compatible with CardBus. Use the lower slot for Type III PC Cards. You
do not need to shut down your notebook before inserting or removing a PC Card.
