Before Use
System Requirements
In order to use the CRW2100E drive, your computer system will need to meet the
following set of requirements.
n
The CRW2100E drive may not write at a 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).
n
If you are using Windows 2000 operating system, you need 64MB or more memory.
A 5.25-inch drive bay for mounting the drive (if the CRW2100E is expanded).
Operating System (OS)
Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,
Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, Windows 2000.
CD Writing Software
The CRW2100E 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
CRW2100E drive.
n
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 800MB in total). However, such hard drive space for the
image file is not needed when you are directly writing from a hard drive, CD-
ROM drive or so on (on-the-fly writing).
n
You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. That image
file can then be simply transferred and written onto a disc, avoiding writing errors
related to buffer underrun (a condition where writing is disabled due to under-
performance of the data transfer rate to the writing speed). Also, note that the image file
is useful to write multiple discs with the same content.
