Information on burning CDs or DVDs
Caution
Danger of data errors when burning CDs or DVDs
Burning is permissible only in an undisturbed environment, i.e. shock and vibration stress
must be avoided. Because of heavy fluctuation in the quality of CD-Rs, data may be
corrupted in a burning session, even if no error message is initially displayed. The written
data can only be verified by comparing these with the source. To be on the safe side, data
should be verified after every burning session. When backing up an image, the data should
be restored to the hard disk and the system should be rebooted from the hard disk.
