Place an optical disk in the middle of the tray with the label side facing up until the disk clicks into place. Close the tray by pushing it gently. When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert or remove a disk. Be sure to seat the disk firmly over the disk drive hub fingers.

A CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disk is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase and rewrite a program or other data. A CD-R (CD-Recordable) is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program or other data, but only once. You can use the Drag'n Drop CD software to write data to a CD-R or CD-RW. To make a CD-R's data readable on a CD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software. Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your computer when you write data to a CD-RW or CD-R. It is not possible to burn CDs when the CD-RW/DVD docking station is not connected to AC power. Do not use disks with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc. ), as this may damage the CD-RW drive. Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disk. For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disk. Memory-resident disk utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. [. . . ] This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low temperatures. Charge the batteries at temperatures between 10°C to 30°C. Lower temperatures require a longer charging time. While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery pack heats up. [. . . ]
