Using Packetcd; Sharing Data/Finalizing A Disc - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 7RPM11 Software Manual

Using PacketCD

PacketCD allows you to use your CD-RW drive just like a hard drive or any other
removable media drive (e.g., Zip). PacketCD makes it possible to drag-and-drop files
to the letter of the CD-RW drive within Windows Explorer or any other Windows
application.
If your Presario Internet PC is equipped with both a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
and a CD-RW drive, you can write data directly between the two drives (write "on-
the-fly").

NOTE: When you finalize a disc in PacketCD, the Universal Disc Format (UDF) file system is
automatically recorded to the disc. UDF allows you to use the new CD in another computer.
What is UDF?
Universal Disc Format (UDF) is a file system that supports the current generation of
optical drives such as CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and DVD-Video. Standard CD-ROMs
are usually formatted using a file system called ISO 9660.
UDF was designed to address the limitations of ISO 9660 for DVD-ROM, CD-RW,
and other new disc formats. Specifically, UDF allows files to be added to a CD-R or
CD-RW disc incrementally, one file at a time, without significant wasted space (these
are functions within PacketCD).
