Chapter 3. Installing Software
Before you can record data onto CD-R or CD-RW discs using your TEAC CD-
RW Drive, you must first install Adaptec CD-R/CD-RW software onto your
computer’s hard disk.
TEAC CD-RW kits include a CD-ROM that contains the following recording
software applications for Windows 95/98/Me/2000-Professional and Windows
NT systems.
❑
Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Version 4.02d or higher
Easy CD Creator
is a full-featured premastering software application that
enables you to create audio CDs and data CDs.
❑
Adaptec DirectCD, Version 3.01d or higher
DirectCD
is a “drag & drop” software application that allows you to read and
write to your CD-RW as if it were a standard floppy or removable hard drive.
It also provides the tools necessary to format the media.
An installation procedure for these applications is provided in “Installing
Easy CD Creator and DirectCD Software” on page 14.
Note: The Adaptec software included in this package will work on systems on
which Windows 2000-Professional has been fully installed. It will not work on
systems on which Windows 2000 has been installed by updating earlier versions
of Windows (i.e., Windows 95/98). This software will not work with Windows
2000 Server, Advanced Server, or Datacenter Server.
