Yamaha CRW8824SX Series - Manual (Page 14)

System Configuration
Software
The software requirements for using the CRW8824SX drive are as follows:
● CD writing software. This software must support the CRW8824SX drive for
writing to CD-R or CD-RW.
n For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation
that came with it.
n Please 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.
n Data 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.
