SETUP – SD-R6372  
Toshiba recommends that only trained professionals install this DVD Rewriteable drive into your  
laptop/notebook.  
Installation Notes  
The SD-R6372 DVD Rewriteable drive has no jumpers that need to be set  
Mounting orientation: 15° (horizontally), 15° vertically (volume control in down position), 30  
(drive with volume control in up position).  
When mounting drive use 4 M2-PO.4 tapping holes located on the left and right sides of drive.  
When mounting drive, the tightening torque of the four screws must be even. Recommended  
screw tightening torque is 2N  
For clearance around the front bezel, it is recommended that a clearance of more than 0.8mm  
should be left in all directions.  
Software Driver  
Toshiba's SD-R6372 drive does not require any unique device drivers for Windows '98/2000/XP/NT.  
After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your drive. Win '98/2000/XP/NT  
Operating Systems support all Toshiba's ATAPI drives natively. If you prefer using DOS, download the  
ATAPI driver from our web site.

USING THE DVD Rewriteable Drive – SD-R6372  
Drive Operation  
Inserting Media  
To insert media perform the following steps:  
1. Figure 1.Inserting Disc  
1. Open the drive's loading tray by pressing the Eject Button and pulling out the tray.  
2. Place media disc into drive's loading tray, and lightly press down on the inner portion of the disc.  
3. Gently close the disc tray.  
Removing Media  
To remove media disc from the drive, perform the following steps:  
1. Open the loading tray by pressing the Eject Button, and pulling tray out.  
2. Grasp disc by it's outer edge, and lift out of loading tray.  
3. Gently close the loading tray.  
Usage Guidelines  
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD Rewriteable drive  
Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.  
Do not place objects on the disc tray  
Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc  
Do not press the Eject button while the drive is accessing a disc  
Emergency Ejection  
CAUTION: The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when  
pressing the eject button fails to open the Loading Tray.  
5
 
1. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system.  
2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the  
picture below.  
3. Loading tray will open/eject.  
Figure 2.Using Emergency Eject  
Handling Media  
CD/DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only.  
Cleaning Media  
Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc  
accessing speed.  
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather  
from the inner side outward.  
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only  
half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by  
the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are  
inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

Is the drive connected properly? Are all cables plugged in properly (e.g.  
Power Cable, Interface Cable and Audio Cables).  
Is the software driver loaded? On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the  
system is the DVD Rewriteable drive recognized?  
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid drivers  
selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.  
Has the DVD Rewriteable drive software driver been corrupted by a  
virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact  
Technical Support if the Virus renders the DVD Rewriteable  
drive software drivers not useable.

recognized by the Operating  
System (i.e. XP, Win2000, Win98,  
Win NT, etc.)  
Is the DVD Rewriteable drive software driver loaded? On a step-by-step  
(F8) Boot of the system is the DVD Rewriteable drive recognized?  
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid DVD drivers  
selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.  
Has the Windows DVD Rewriteable drive software driver program been  
corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible.  
Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the software drivers not  
useable.

the drive or certain types of CD  
media (i.e. CD-plus, etc.)  
Is the DVD Rewriteable drive driver loaded  
Is the DVD disc the correct format for the type of system that you are  
using? (i.e. on a PC an ISO9660 IBM compatible PC format as opposed  
to Apple/Mac HFS disc or UNIX disc formats which will not function).  
Do you have the correct software applications program/drivers installed  
to run a DVD disc?  
Has the Windows DVD Rewriteable drive software driver program been  
corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible.
