Software Installation 

4.1. 

Before You Start 

Please understand that CD recording is a non-interruptible process. Therefore, a stable 
recording environment is a must. If you have a HDD set up only for CD recording 
purpose, the recording process shall be smooth. 

However, if an extra HDD is not available, you might prefer carrying out the following 
steps to optimize your Windows 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP recording arrangement:

 

y

 

Close all resident programs that include Anti-Virus, Screen Saver, System 
Agent, Power Management, etc. Turn off Auto Insert Notification. Further, 
maximizing and minimizing windows are not recommended either. If not, any 
operation of these applications will intrude the CD recording process and 
damage your disk. 

y

 

Defrag your HDD before any CD recording. This is particularly important when 
you write files to CD from HDD. Defragment of HDD reallocates all the files so 
that these relevant files are placed in the nearby clusters. This saves time and 
risks when Easy CD Creator is trying to search for the files you want to record 
on CD. 

4.2. 

Installing Software 

For information on installing procedures and how to use the authoring software, please 
refer to the manual that came with it. If you want to use another type of authoring 
software not bundled with this COMBO drive, please refer to each manual on how to 
install and operate. Please note that some authoring software or version of authoring 
software does not support this COMBO drive.
