Operating System (OS)
Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, or Windows 2000 Professional
Notes
• For Windows 98 Second Edition, install the included device drivers (storage class drivers) to the
PC. For details, refer to the separate manual, “Device Driver Installation Guide”, that came with
the
CRW2200UX
drive.
• The
CRW2200UX
drive cannot be used with a system that has been booted on MS-DOS or
Safe mode.
CD Writing Software
The
CRW2200UX
drive requires a CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW
disc. Make sure your CD writing software supports the
CRW2200UX
drive.
Note
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.
Hard Drive Space
Writing data on a CD-R/RW disc requires 50 MB to 100 MB of free space as a
working area on the hard drive.
When writing data on a CD-R/RW disc after creating an image file, there must be
enough free space on the hard drive to store the image file in addition to the working
area (a total of up to about 900 MB).
However, this hard drive space for image files is not needed when directly writing
onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the
CRW2200UX
drive
(on-the-fly writing).
About disk image files
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 CD writing software.
