System Configuration
In order to use the CRW8824E drive, your computer system will need to meet the
following set of requirements.
Computer
The minimum system requirements for using the CRW8824E drive are as follows:
Any fully PC/AT-compatible computer.
A Pentium-class or higher CPU running at 200MHz or faster.
OS: Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second
Edition), Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, or Windows 2000.
RAM: 32MB memory, 64MB or more recommended.
A 5.25-inch drive bay for mounting the drive (if the CRW8824E is expanded)
Software
The software requirements for using the CRW8824E drive are as follows:
CD writing software. This software must support the CRW8824E drive for
writing to CD-R or CD-RW.
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation
that came with it.
When temporarily storing data on a hard disk prior to writing to CD-R/RW,
you will need an extra area of 50 ~ 100MB free hard disk space. When creating
an image file of the data on hard disk before writing to CD-R/RW, you will
need as much hard disk space as the original data, plus an extra 50 ~ 100MB.
However, this extra area is not needed when backing up directly from CD-
ROM.
Data is written to disc much more reliably when writing from an image file,
eliminating the likelihood of errors occurring. Furthermore, this solution is ideal
when making multiple copies of discs since the original data is backed up to hard
disk as an image file.
