Chapter 7. Using the Combo II Drive

This section provides information on how to handle, load, and care for DVDs and

CDs and how to care for your Combo II Drive.

Before you begin

For best results, review the following guidelines before using the drive:

v Do not move your ThinkPad computer while formatting or writing a disc as this

might cause data errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or writing to a

disc, as this might also cause data errors.

v Keep the ThinkPad computer and the Combo II Drive on a flat surface when

writing to a disc.

v Turn screensavers off. Using a screensaver might interrupt the formatting and

writing process.

v Do not put your ThinkPad computer into hibernation or suspend mode while

writing to a disc.

Note:

The read and write results of the drive depend upon the quality and

characteristics of the DVD or CD media used.

Handling and caring for a disc

Carefully handle and clean discs, especially writable media types such as CD-R

and CD-RW discs, so that they remain readable. You can prolong the life of your

discs by using the following precautions:

v Always store discs in their original packaging.

v Always store discs out of direct sunlight.

v Always store discs away from direct heat sources.

v Remove discs from the computer when not in use.

v Check discs for cracks BEFORE each use.

IMPORTANT: Do not use discs that are cracked.

v Do not force discs into the computer or packaging.

v Do not bend or flex discs.

v Do not use commercial cleaners to clean discs.

v Do not write on the surface of discs.

v Handle discs by the edges or the center hole.

v Do not touch the surface of discs.

v To remove dust or fingerprints, wipe discs from the center to the edge with a

soft, lint-free cloth.

Attention: Wiping a disc using a circular motion can cause data loss.
