Check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to delete data from the wrong drive. ■ When writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW or DVD-RAM disc, some disc space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the disc. ■ Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it might be filled with dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data. ■ DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000 without DVD-RAM Driver Software. ■ When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to write to the wrong drive. ■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor before you write or rewrite. ■ Before you enter Sleep Mode/Hibernation Mode, be sure to complete DVD-RAM writing. Writing is complete if you can eject the DVD-RAM media. ■ Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software. ■ Do not run software such as a screen saver, which can put a heavy load on the CPU. ■ Operate the computer under the power scheme High Performance. Do not use power-saving features. ■ Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish and then disable virus detection programs including any software that checks files automatically in the background. ■ Do not use hard disc utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and data damage. ■ CD-RW (Ultra speed) media should not be used as data may be lost or damaged. ■ Write from the computer's hard disc drive to the CD/DVD. Do not try to write from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device. ■ Writing with software other than Corel Movie factory for TOSHIBA is not recommended. User's Manual 4-28
