Using the Drive
When writing to discs
Read the instructions on the disc package carefully.
With DVD-RAM, you can write or rewrite as with the hard disk using Explorer, without
using the writing software. (DVD-RAM driver is required. Refer to page 12 on how to
install the software.)
Writing software is required to write data to a disc other than DVD-RAM.
Install "B's Recorder" and "B's CLiP" using "DVD Drive Utility Disc" (included).

adaptor. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write
