•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 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 1.1GB).
However, hard drive space for image file is not required when directly writing onto a CD-R/RW disc from hard drive or CD-ROM using the CRW-F1SX drive (on-the-fly writing).
Image file
An image file is data files that are collected to be written on a CD-R/RW disc. The file is useful for writing the same data onto multiple discs. For details, refer to the instruction for the CD writing software.
