Operating Basics
■ If you add data to a DVD-R and DVD+R disc that you have already
recorded to, you might not be able to read the added data under some
circumstances. It cannot be read in 16-bit operating systems, such as
Windows 98SE and Windows ME, in Windows NT4 you will need Service
Pack 6 or later to read the data, and in Windows 2000 you will need
Service Pack 2 or later to read it. Some optical media drives cannot read
added data regardless of the operating system.
■ TOSHIBA Disc Ceator does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs.
To record to a DVD-RAM, use Explorer or other similar utility.
■ When you back up a DVD disc, be sure the source drive supports
recording to DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs. If the source drive does
not support recording to DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs, it might not
be backed up correctly.
■ When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW, be sure to
use the same type of disc.

DVD+RW disc.

Media Care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your discs and disks.
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase
the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on it:
1. Store your discs in the container they came in to protect them and keep
them clean.
2. Do not bend the disc.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the
disc that contains data.
4. Hold the disc by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole.
FingerPrints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading
data.
5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, or extreme heat or cold, and do not
place heavy objects on your discs.
