If your duplicator has a Hard Drive installed, that Hard Drive is divided into
a number of equal-sized partitions. Each partition holds ONE and ONLY
ONE master disc regardless of the size of your master disc.
The options for partition size are:
Auto
■
CD: 1 GB
■
DVD: 5 GB
■
DVD Dual: 9 GB
■
The number of partitions is determined by dividing your Hard Drive's total
capacity by the selected media size: 1 GB for CD format, 5 GB for DVD5 for-
mat, or 9 GB for DVD9 format (double layer/dual layer), and then subtracting
one partition for system use. For example, if you have a 160 GB Hard Drive,
you can calculate the number of DVD5 format partitions by: 160 / 5 = 32.
Since one partition is reserved for system use, you will have 31 partitions
available for use.
Or you can calculate the number of DVD9 format partitions using the formu-
la: 160 / 9 = 17.77. Since you cannot use an incomplete partition, there will
be a total of 17 partitions available for a 160 GB Hard Drive. Since one par-
tition is reserved for system use; there will be 16 partitions available for use.
