Writing discs
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW or
DVD-RAM discs.
When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live electrical outlet. It
is possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the
write process might sometimes fail due to low battery power. In these
instances, data loss might occur.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the optical
disc drive, read and follow all of the setup and operating instructions in this
section.If you fail to do so, you might find that the optical disc drive might
not function properly, and you might fail to write or rewrite information
successfully. This might cause you to either lose data or incur other
damage to the drive or media.
