Before Use
In order to use the CRW2200E drive, your computer system will need to meet the
following requirements.
Note
The CRW2200E drive may not write at the maximum speed depending on your computer’s
system configuration.
PC/AT-Compatible Computer
CPU: Pentium II-class or higher, 300MHz or faster.
RAM: 32MB memory (64MB or more recommended).
Note
If you are using Windows 2000 Professional operating system, you need 64MB memory or more.
A vacant 5.25-inch drive bay slot (For supplemental drive).
Operating System (OS)
Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows
Me, Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, Windows 2000 Professional.
CD Writing Software
The CRW2200E drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc.
When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2200E drive.
Note
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.
Hard Drive Space
When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100MB free
space) on the hard drive. When creating an image file for all data to write to a CD-R/
RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will need as much hard drive space as
that data (up to 900MB in total). However, such hard drive space for the image file is
not needed when you are directly writing from a hard drive or CD-ROM drive, etc.
(on-the-fly writing).
About a disk image file
You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. Also, note that an
image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to
the documentation that came with your writing software.
