■ Damage that may be caused by using third party equipment or
software. Given the technological limitations of current optical disc
writing drives, you may experience unexpected writing or rewriting
errors due to disc quality or problems with hardware devices. Also, it is
a good idea to make two or more copies of important data, in case of
undesired change or loss of the recorded contents.
