Recommended Software
Before you can record data onto CD-R or CD-RW discs using your TEAC CD-RW
Drive, you must first install pre-mastering or packet-writing software onto your
computer’s hard disk. TEAC recommends the following applications for Windows
95/98/Me/2000-Professional and NT:
❑
Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Version 4.02d or higher:
A full-featured
premastering software application that enables you to create audio CDs and data
CDs.
❑
Adaptec DirectCD, Version 3.01d or higher:
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.
For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanies the software.
Notes:
•
The IDE CD-RW drive is a true Plug-N-Play device; therefore, it will be
detected automatically by Windows 95/98/Me/2000-Professional. There is no
need to install any drivers.
•
Windows NT 4.0 Users:
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Plug-N-Play feature. Therefore, confirm
that the IDE CD-ROM DRIVE ATAPI version 1.2 driver is installed. If not,
open the Control Panel, double click “SCSI Adapters,” click the “Drivers” tab,
then click the “Add” button. At the “Select a SCSI Adapter Option” window,
select “IDE CD-ROM DRIVE (ATAPI Ver 1.2).” Click “Install” and follow
the instructions on screen.
•
The drive is recognized by the operating system as a typical CD-ROM drive.
Once you confirm that you can read (play) data discs from the CD-RW drive,
install the premastering software to enable recording to CD-R and CD-RW
discs.
•
The premastering software is to be purchased separately.
Note:
The above mentioned software packages are part of the Easy CD Creator
Deluxe Software Suite from Adaptec. Please ensure the appropriate version is
purchased.
