Software
The software requirements for using the CRW6416SX drive are as follows:
● CD writing software. This software must support the CRW6416SX drive for
writing to CD-R or CD-RW.
n For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came
with it.
n Please verify the settings for your system setup (hardware, OS, etc.).
● When temporarily storing data on hard disk prior to writing to CD-R/RW,
you will need an extra area of 50 ~ 100MB free hard disk space in addition to
the amount used by the data itself. So when storing an image file of an audio
CD on hard disk, a 74-minute disc (which is about 740MB of data) will
require a total of 790 ~ 840MB of free hard disk space. However, this extra
area is not needed when directly backing up from CD-ROM.
n 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.
