CD writing software. This software must support the CRW8824SX 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 a hard disk prior to writing to CD-R/RW, you will need an extra area of 50 ~ 100MB free hard disk space. When creating an image file of the data on hard disk before writing to CD-R/RW, you will need as much hard disk space as the original data, plus an extra 50 ~ 100MB. However, this extra area is not needed when backing up directly 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.
