Protecting a CD or DVD write process

CAUTION: To prevent loss of information or damage to a disc:
■ 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 applications (including
screen savers and antivirus software) 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. Instead, copy from a
source disc or network drive to your hard drive, and then copy
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. The write process is sensitive to
vibration.
