Aopen crw2040 User Manual

Please understand that CD recording is a non-interruptible process. Therefore, a stable 
recording environment is a must. If you have a HDD set up only for CD recording 
purpose, the recording process shall be smooth. 

However, if an extra HDD is not available, you might prefer carrying out the following 
steps to optimize your Windows 95 / 98 (or NT4.0) CD recording arrangement: 

Ÿ  Close all resident programs that include Anti-Virus, Screen Saver, System 

Agent, Power Management, etc. Turn off Auto Insert Notification. Further, 
maximizing and minimizing windows are not recommended either. If not, any 
operation of these applications will intrude the CD recording process and 
damage your disk. 

Ÿ  Defragment your HDD before any CD recording. This is particularly important     
Ÿ  When you write files to CD from HDD. Defragmentation of HDD reallocates all     
Ÿ  The files so that these relevant files are placed in the nearby clusters. This 

saves time and risks when Easy CD Creator is trying to search for the files you 
want to record on CD. 

For information on installing procedures and how to use the authoring software, please 
refer to the manual that came with it. If you want to use another type of authoring 
software not bundled with CRW2040, please refer to each manual on how to install and 
operate. Please note that some authoring software or version of authoring software does 
not support CRW2040.
