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 95 / 98 / NT / 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
Defragment your HDD before any CD recording. This is particularly important
y
When you write files to CD from HDD. Defragmentation of HDD reallocates all
y
The files so that these relevant files are placed in the nearby clusters. This
saves time and risks when CD Writing software is trying to search for the files
you want to record on CD.
