Starting DirectCD
To start DirectCD so you can begin writing data to your CD:
■ Double-click the CD-RW drive icon on the right side of the
taskbar.
The DirectCD Wizard appears and guides you step-by-step to prepare the
CD so you can write data directly to it.
Writing Data to a CD the First Time
Before you can write data directly to your CD, you must first format the
CD. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Insert a blank CD into your CD-RW drive.
2. Double-click the CD-RW drive icon on the taskbar.
The Adaptec DirectCD Wizard window appears.
3. Click Next.
4. If you have more than one CD-R or CD-RW drive, select the CD-R drive
containing the blank CD and click Next.
5. In the Format Disc window, select the option that says:
I will be using DirectCD to read and write the CD through the
drive letter associated with the CD-R drive.
NOTE: Formatting a blank CD-RW disc may take approximately one hour.
Formatting a CD-RW disc also requires additional space on the disc (up to 100
MB or more). Thus, CD-RW discs have less than 500 MB of available space
while CD-R discs can store over 600 MB of data.
6. Click Next to continue.
7. Type in the name you want to call your CD in the Volume Information
window and click Finish.
