CAUTION: To prevent loss of information or damage to a disc, observe the following guidelines: Before writing to a disc, connect the computer to a reliable external power source. Do not write to a disc while the computer is running on battery power. Before writing to a disc, close all open programs except the disc software you are using. Do not copy directly from a source disc to a destination disc or from a network drive to a destination disc. Save the information to your hard drive, and then burn from your hard drive to the destination disc. Do not use the computer keyboard or move the computer while the computer is writing to a disc. NOTE: For details about using software included with the computer, refer to the software manufacturer's instructions. These instructions may be provided on disc, in the software Help, or on the manufacturer's Web site. Copying a CD or DVD 1. Select Start > All Programs > CyberLink DVD Suite > Power2Go. Power2Go reads the source disc and copies the data to a temporary folder on your hard drive. When prompted, remove the source disc from the optical drive and insert a blank disc into the drive. After the information is copied, the disc you created ejects automatically. Optical drive 49 Creating (burning) a CD or DVD If your computer includes a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, you can use software such as Windows Media Player or CyberLink Power2Go to burn data and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files. Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD: Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs. A CD-R or DVD-R is usually best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it cannot be changed. Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use CD-Rs to burn music CDs. A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed. [. . . ] You can then recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system.
