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.

nFor details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

nPlease 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.

nData 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.
