Installing your external drive
The advantages of this method are reduced load on system resources and the
elimination of buffer underrun errors. However, this method cannot be utilized for
audio data. Several formats, such as UDF and CD-R FS, can be used while recording
using the Packet Write method.
Installing your external drive
System requirements
• Intel® Pentium® III 800 MHz or higher CPU
• Microsoft® Windows® XP/2000 operating system
• 256 MB memory (recommended)
• CD drive (minimum 16× drive recommended)
• USB 2.0 host controller card (not required if your system board is equipped
with a USB 2.0 controller)
• USB 2.0 certified cable (included)
• Software (the drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW.
When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports this
drive.)
• Hard drive space—when writing to a CD-R/RW, you will need a working
area (50 to 100 MB free) on the hard drive. When creating an image file for
data to write to a CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area you will
need as much hard drive space as the data will occupy on the CD (up to
800 MB). However, the hard drive space is not needed for the image file
when you are writing directly from a hard drive or CD drive.
