Any of these methods may cause damage to your DV-W58G. Handling: Check the CD/DVD before inserting it into the drive. It should not have finger prints or other dirt on it. Especially at high reading velocities dirt may increase the number of reading errors. Very important: Shape CD/DVDs, a kind of CD/DVD which is not shaped like the normal round CD/DVD, are not allowed to be used in this drive. Otherwise rotational forces may cause severe damage to the drive. Installing Drivers and the Writer Software As à general precaution the installation of the hardware has to be carried out as described before.
