Using optical drives
An optical disc drive uses laser light to read or store large amounts of information. Some drives can
only read information, but others can also write (burn) information onto a blank disc.
Use these tips for best performance of your optical drive:
●
When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently charged
before writing to media.
●
Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while an optical drive is writing to a disc. The
write process is sensitive to vibration.
