■ Please refer to the <Link R>Writable discs, Chapter 2 for details about
the types of writable CD and DVD discs that can be supported by this
computer.
■ Do not turn off the power to the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing it as this may cause you to lose data.
■ To write data to CD-R/-RW media, use the TOSHIBA Disc Creator
feature that is installed on your computer.
■ When the power of the optical disc drive is off, the disc tray will not
open even if the eject button is pushed. Use the ODD to turn the power
of the optical disc drive on. Please refer to Chapter 5, <Link R>Hot
keys.

When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is
possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write
process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances
data loss may occur.
