PlexWriter 24/10/40A Operations Manual
Install Plextor Applications Software
Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 can immediately operate your PlexWriter drive
as a CD-ROM device (reader) and permit the drive to be recognized by the
computer’s operating system. In order to take advantage of the PlexWriter’s ability
to record on CD-R or CD-RW media, however, you will also need packet writing or
mastering applications software on your PC. You can also check the compatibility
list on the Plextor web site at www.plextor.com, for software that supports the
PlexWriter under other operating systems. You will need to purchase this software
separately.
If you purchased your PlexWriter as part of a Plextor kit and you have a PC, much of
the software you need is included. Plextor has developed several utilities to help you
get the most from your PlexWriter drive.
Plextor Manager 2000
This unique suite of audio management and drive control applications puts you in the
CD driver’s seat. A variety of distinctive modules allow you to listen to, record and
even create your own playlists using a standard and digital audio file formats. Rip the
finest quality audio using digital audio extraction at high speed. Need to make a
duplicate CD? A simple mouse click and you’re done. Control every aspect of the
drive from spindown timeout to eject lock. Plextor Manager 2000 also gives you
information on the drive’s configuration and the media inserted into it.
See the Plextor Manager 2000 User’s Manual for details.
CD Res-Q
For backup and disaster recovery, CD Res-Q lets you create an image of your hard
disk drive on secure, reliable CD-R or CD-RW media. By spanning CDs, you can
back up your entire hard drive. Additional features include making a CD bootable,
choice of compression, hard drive or image file integrity verification, and more.
NOTE: CD Res-Q backup works only with Plextor CD-R and CD-RW drives. You can
restore from almost any CD-ROM drive. CD Res-Q requires that you have a DOS
boot floppy to create a bootable backup set of CDs.
If You Don’t Have CD Res-Q
CD Res-Q is provided free of charge if you purchase the SCSI model
PlexWriter drive as a retail kit. If you purchased a non-Plextor retail box or an
ATAPI-interface PlexWriter such as this one, CD Res-Q is not included. But
you can purchase this software directly from Plextor.
