Step 11. Installing the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD software
Note: Be sure to see the README file on the Adaptec Easy CD
Creator/DirectCD CD for the latest information about the Easy CD
Creator/DirectCD software.
The Easy CD Creator/DirectCD CD contains the following programs:
Easy CD Creator
DirectCD
UDF Reader
To fully use the capabilities of your CD-RW drive, you need to install both the Easy
CD Creator and DirectCD programs. If you also have a MR (multi-read) CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive in your computer, you might need to install the UDF Reader
program to read certain CD-R or CD-RW discs in these drives.
To install the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD software for Windows 98, Windows 95,
Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0:
1. Insert the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD CD into your CD-RW drive.
2. If the Adaptec Easy CD Creator Installation window opens, follow the onscreen
instructions. If not, continue to the next step.
3. Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel.
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Repeat as
necessary to install each of the Easy CD Creator, DirectCD, and UDF Reader
components.
6. Restart your operating system.
Using CD-R and CD-RW discs
The CD-RW drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs cannot be
erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM drives and CD players. You can use
CD-R discs to record audio tracks, store data, archive files, and copy files from
another CD.
CD-RW discs can be erased and rewritten, but can be used only with newer MR
(multi-read) and CD-RW compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. You can use
CD-RW discs to back up, store, and update files, or to copy files from another CD.
Note: CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not playable
on most audio CD players.
