Backing Up A Cd; Problem Solving - IBM ThinkPad Ultrabay 2000 Installations- Und Benutzerhandbuch

CD-RW discs can be erased and rewritten, but can be used only with newer
MR- and CD-RW-compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. You can use
CD-RW discs to back up, store, and update files or to copy files from another
CD.
Note: CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not
playable on most audio CD players.

Backing up a CD

To copy a commercial CD, you must own the copyright or obtain permission
from the copyright owner. If you do not own the copyright or do not obtain
permission from the copyright owner, you might be violating copyright law
and might be subject to payment of damages or other remedies. For more
information on copyright law, consult your legal advisor.

Problem solving

Computer problems can be caused by problems with the hardware or software
configuration. You might be able to use the information in this section to solve
problems yourself or to gather helpful information you can pass on to a service
technician. You might also need to refer to your computer, operating-system, or
sound-adapter publications.
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your
situation.
You cannot create a multisession disc.
Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing
a session requires lead-in and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the
data that is recorded.
The write process fails when writing to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Take the following actions:
1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an
antivirus program, an Internet or e-mail program, or other software.
Disable the functions that might interrupt the write operation.
2. Verify that the hard disk has been defragmented.
3. Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.
4. Try disabling the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM
and CD-RW drives.
You cannot eject a CD.
