Q: Can I use hard drive compression software?
It is not recommended to use hard drive compression software when CD-ReWriter is
installed. CD-R and CD-RW writing program may check free space to estimate needed
space. However, due to the hard drive compression software’s compression ratio may
vary from time to time. The actual free space available may not be enough for disc
copying.
Q: To maintain optimal writing performance
Regularly run disc de-fragmentation and scanning programs on your hard drive (please
refer to your Windows manual for detailed information). Doing this improves the access
time to the hard drive, and thus ensures writing in higher performance.
Finally, these are only GENERAL rules and not necessary to apply to any combination of
CD-ROM drives, HDD and motherboards. A few trials on different configurations before
recording are recommended. Also, try out different CD-R media before you proceed to
make volumes duplication as you may figure out which brand of CD-R media originates
smoother recording and easier access. As long as you find the best CD recording way,
stick to it. Have a nice recording time.
