12.8 ABOUT HDD MANAGER
Our duplicator uses highly intelligent and dynamic HDD management technology. The traditional method of formatting
a HDD requires that you have to decide the number of partitions designated for DVDs and CDs before you format your
hard drive. However, the problem is that you might not be able to accurately predict how many DVDs or CDs you will
load onto your hard drive. You could potentially create many incomplete partitions, especially since there are new
DVD discs coming out constantly, such as the double- layer DVD. You need a smarter and more dynamic way to
manage your HDD and our HDD manager can do that for you!
Our Dynamic HDD Manager has following special features:
I. Auto Detect Disc Capacity and Dynamically Assign Partitions
1. When you first format your built-in HDD, our duplicator will automatically divide the HDD into 1GB
partitions. You will not have to select DVD or CD partition in the beginning.
2.
You can go to check HDD information in function 12.6 HDD Info. The Hard Drive’s capacity is presented in
terms of how many DVD or CD discs you can load. For example, if your built-in HDD is 40GB, then the
system will show the HDD available capacity:
40GB / 5GB = 8
or
40GB / 1 GB = 40
✂☎✄
Note: DVD is calculated by 5GB, and CD is calculated by 1GB.
3. Every time you load a source disc, the duplicator will auto detect the disc capacity and assign correct
partitions for it. For example, if you loaded a 4GB double-layer DVD disc into HDD as a disc image, system
will automatically detect and assign 4 partitions for it.
4. Dynamic calculate and display HDD capacity. The duplicator will present your built-in HDD capacity
information dynamically depending on each time your loaded source disc’s capacity. For example, before your
load a 4GB DVD disc as source disc image, your HDD information shows your HDD capacity is available for
loading 5 DVD or 26 CDs. However, after loading a 4GB DVD, the system will re-calculate the total available
partitions and show you how many DVD or CD discs that you can load as disc image next time.

II.
Smart Image File Management:
1. When Discs are loaded into HDD as stored disc images, the system will assign a file name to the image file
beginning from A001~.
✄☎✂
Note: Every time a new disc image is loaded, the system will automatically search and assign the
lowest number as the file name. For example, if there are not deleted files, the file name will be assigned in
sequence beginning from A001. However, if there a file is deleted, such as A003, then the file name will be
held. When the next time there is a new disc image stored, the lowest number of A003 will be assigned as this
new disc image’s file name.
