Using Optical Disks
The optical disks that you use in the optical disk drive are an integral part of the
storage process. This chapter provides information on the following:
• choosing an optical disk
• labeling an optical disk
• maintaining an optical disk
• write-protecting an optical disk
Note
For top performance and reliability, Hewlett-Packard recommends HP-labeled optical
disks that have been fully tested for use with HP’s optical products. Purchase these disks
through any HP-authorized dealer, or order them through HP Direct. See “Supplies and
Accessories”, Appendix A, for ordering information.
