• The CD-R/CD-RW disc for PC-Doctor DOS does not support any optical disc drives connected through USB devices, PC Cards, CardBus cards or installed into the Ultrabay of the Docking Station. It only supports internal optical disc drives (CD-RW, CD-RW/DVD Combo and DVD Multi drives) on ThinkPad systems.
• To boot the computer from an internal optical disc drive, your ThinkPad computer may need to change the boot device setting. Refer to the "Preparing the boot device" section in this document.
