This software enables you to record video files to DVD-RW or DVD-R media  
that can be played in most stand-alone DVD players. You can also use this  
software to edit and modify your own video assets prior to recording.  
If you have an analog or IEEE 1394 capture device installed in your  
computer, you can use this software to record video from a camera.  
v IBM Drive Letter Access (DLA)  
This software enables you to write directly to CD-RW, CD-R, DVD-RAM,  
DVD-RW, and DVD-R media using the drive letter like you would if you  
were writing to a diskette. All disc format types can be formatted by DLA.  
With DLA, you can drag-and-drop files, create new directories, or save files  
from any application directly to your Multi-Burner.  
v UDF reader  
This software enables you to install software for reading DVD-RAM,  
DVD-RW, and CD-RW media on computers with DVD drives. It also allows  
you to read DLA-created discs on systems without DLA installed.  
v IBM RecordNow  
IBM RecordNow is disc mastering software that allows you to create your  
own music or data discs from files on your computer, or from other disc  
media such as CDs or DVDs. Music discs created with IBM RecordNow will  
play on any CD player, whether it’s at home, in your car, or through your  
Chapter 1. About the multi-burner drive

computer’s CD-ROM. IBM RecordNow also makes it easy to create data  
discs that can be read on any appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.  
Note: Some DVD players cannot read CD-R media. Refer to the  
documentation that accompanied your drive for information on  
supported media.  
IBM RecordNow guides you, step-by-step, through the recording process  
with simple Wizards and an intuitive user-interface.  
Using IBM RecordNow you can create:  
– Exact copies of existing discs - The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate  
of your master disc, transferring the disc layout of the original disc to  
your CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD media.  
– Discs of archived data from your hard drive – The Make a Data Disc  
feature is used to store electronic data, such as the files and applications  
that reside on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike music discs, data discs  
are used to store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be  
played on your home or car stereo—even if audio files are on the disc.  
– Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing  
music discs – The Make a Music Disc feature creates custom music discs  
from files on your hard drive or your existing music discs. The CD music  
database feature can automatically tag your files with track information to  
help you sort through your collection.  
Note: Please reference the IBM RecordNow On-line Help, for more  
information on how to Make an Exact copy, Create a Data Disc, or to  
Create an Audio disc with IBM RecordNow.  
To start RecordNow, complete the following procedure:  
1. Click Start.  
2. Click Programs.  
3. Click IBM RecordNow.  
4. Click RecordNow to open the main recording software window.

This software enables you to create full or incremental backups of your  
system files on DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, or CD-RW media, and  
allows you to restore your computer if it crashes.  
v Intervideo WinDVD  
This software enables you to play back DVD videos on your computer or to  
play video files from your hard disk drive.

Problem solving  
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The  
information in this section might be useful to help you solve problems 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.  
You cannot successfully write to a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or  
DVD-RAM disc.  
Take the following actions:  
Chapter 2. Using the Multi-Burner drive 17  
 
 
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. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk  
drive is conducting a thermal recalibration during a write operation.  
4. Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.  
5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and  
CD-RW drives.  
You cannot eject a CD or DVD disc.  
Take the following actions after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of  
writing to a disc:  
1. Eject the CD through software.  
2. Use the Eject button.  
3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try  
using the Eject button again.  
4. If other methods do not work, use the manual-eject hole, using instructions  
You cannot read from the CD or DVD disc after successfully writing to it.  
Take the following actions:  
1. If you can read the CD or DVD Disc in another CD or DVD player or you  
can see previous sessions, the directory information might be damaged on  
the volume, making it unreadable. To get ideas for troubleshooting, check  
the documentation that comes with the software.  
2. You might have a damaged CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or  
DVD-RAM disc. Try a new disc or another brand of CD or DVD disc.  
3. If you can read from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM disc in the writing  
drive, but not in another MR drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is  
installed in the computer.  
4. Avoid writing at the slower 1X speed unless required by your computer.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000  
Part 1 - General Terms  
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2  
- Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1.  
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply  
only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or  
your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,  
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.  
The term “Machine” does not include any software programs, whether  
pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM  
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where  
you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty  
affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by  
contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.  
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free  
from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official  
Published Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine  
is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on  
your sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs  
you otherwise.  
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and  
IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with  
one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of  
purchase and your money will be refunded.  
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a  
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or  
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a  
product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal  
or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.  
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND  
REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR  
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS  
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU  
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS  
WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME  
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION  
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION  
OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH  
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY  
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.  
24 ThinkPad Multi-Burner Ultrabay 2000 Drive: User’s Guide  
 
 
Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or  
error-free operation of a Machine. Any technical or other support provided for  
a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to”  
questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be  
provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.  
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or  
your reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be  
required to present proof of purchase.  
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to  
provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and  
exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with  
their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types  
of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion,  
IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and  
2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your  
reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to  
the Machine.  
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units  
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs  
to you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM  
within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for  
downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates  
from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following  
the instructions that IBM provides.  
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item  
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement  
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and  
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order  
and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement  
assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features,  
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM.  
A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of  
the removed part.  
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove  
all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty  
service.  
You also agree to  
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that  
prevent its exchange;  
Appendix B. Warranty Information 25  
 
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a  
Machine that you do not own; and  
3. where applicable, before service is provided:  
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request  
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;  
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;  
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to  
your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and  
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.  
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in  
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for  
the transportation charges.  
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,  
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return  
to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information  
from the Machine prior to its return.  
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default  
on IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM.  
In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to  
claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence,  
misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that  
cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than  
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property  
and tangible personal property; and  
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if  
recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the  
claim. For purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine  
Code and Licensed Internal Code.  
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the  
maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively  
responsible.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE  
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES  
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2)  
LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,  
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS,  
EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF  
THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE  
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT  
APPLY TO YOU.
