Precautions on Use
7
The CRW3200E drive is designed to operate in the following computer
environment. If your computer does not meet these requirements, the
CRW3200E drive may not write at the maximum speed.
Computer (PC/AT compatible)
• CPU: Pentium II-class or higher, 300 MHz or faster
• RAM: 32MB (64MB or more is recommended)
64 MB or more is required (128 MB is recommended) for Windows 2000
Professional, while 128 MB or more is required (256 MB is recommended)
for Windows XP.
• An empty 5 ¼-inch drive bay (for installing the CRW3200E drive as an
additional drive into the computer)
• Hard drive space
Writing data on a CD-R/RW disc requires 50MB to 100MB 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 900MB).
However, hard drive space for image files is not required when directly
writing onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the
CRW3200E drive (on-the-fly writing).
Image file
You can collect the data files to be written on a CD-R/RW disc into a single image
file.
The image file is useful for writing the same data onto multiple discs. For details,
refer to the documentation that comes with the CD writing software.
Operating system (OS)
Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,
Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP.
CD writing software
The CRW3200E drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW
disc. The CD writing software is included. If using other CD writing software,
be sure that the CD writing software supports the CRW3200E drive.
For details about installing and using the CD writing software, refer to the
documentation that comes with the CD writing software.
