System Requirements
The CRW-F1UX drive is designed to operate in the following computer environment. If your computer does not meet these requirements, the CRW-F1UX drive may not operate or write at the maximum speed.
Computer (PC/AT compatible)
•CPU: Pentium II-class or higher, 300 MHz or faster
•RAM: 64MB or more
64MB or more is required (128MB is recommended) for Windows 2000 Professional, while 128MB or more is required (256MB is recommended) for Windows XP.
•CD-ROM drive
Note
•A CD-ROM drive other than the CRW-F1UX drive is required to install the device drivers.
•The CRW-F1UX drive cannot be used to boot the computer or to set up an operating system.
•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 1.1GB).
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 CRW-F1UX 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.
•A spare PCI expansion slot or a CardBus slot to install a USB 2.0 interface card (if one has not been installed)
