While you don't need a hard drive in the unit, you might want to consider adding one. Here are some advantages of using a hard drive: Safe storage of the master. You burn the master to the hard drive, and then you use the image on the hard drive to burn the copies. The duplicator will run faster and more efficiently, especially if you are making many copies. Without a hard drive, with each burn the duplicator has to read the master before burning the copies.

Hard drives are beneficial to ensure quality burns at higher speeds and to store data that you may need to recall at a later date. With a hard drive, you can store important data or data you make frequent duplications from and easily recall any time you need. Also, it ensures that you can duplicate at the true maximum speed with the best quality.

No. Computer hard drives and duplicator hard drives are two separate file systems, so they cannot communicate. The USB and Firewire connections' allow the computer to use the duplicator as a CD or DVD external burner. You can use either of those devices to store the data on a disc from a specified CD or DVD drive on the duplicator. Once you create that disc, you can use it as your master disc to load into the hard drive and make your duplications. No.

No, you can't. Each partition represents the exact clone of the master disc. They can not be combined or truncated.

No. Installing the hard drive requires special wiring and pre-configuration procedures which can be only done by our certified technicians. Any attempts to alter the machine on your own or through a non-authorized service technician will nullify the warranty.

Not necessarily. A hard drive is very useful if you are burning copies of the same master disc over and over again, and you will continue copying from that master in the future. You can load an image of the master disc to the hard drive, then copy from the hard drive each time.

No. All the core samples of Trilogy are cross-referenced between many different patches and layers. Deleting any samples would destroy numerous patches, complicate updates and lose song compatibility between different systems, making collaboration with other Trilogy users impossible. For all these reasons, we made the single, large wavetable of 3.1 gigabytes.

This will depend on the number of music titles you wish to store and the quality you desire. Let's assume we wish to store our music at CD quality in stereo . Then a good rule of thumb is that 1Gbyte of hard disk space will store about 90 minutes of uncompressed music which would be about 30, 3 minute music titles. If you use MP3 compression 1Gbyte of storage will store about 900 minutes of music or about 300, 3 minute titles. .

If you run it from your computer's CD-drive then you won't need any room! Otherwise, not much - it depends on how big your photo package was and how many images we scanned for your web site. Generally, you will only need 3mb of disk space maximum. Remember, your images were initially scanned and maximized for the Internet and therefore great care was initially taken to insure minimum file size.

Native DV takes up a lot of hard drive storage. Approximately 4.5 minutes of footage fits in a gigabyte (1 hr takes 13 GB). This is why all our systems come with a lot of hard disk space, e.g. our lowest-end system has 80 gigabytes or >6 hours of full resolution DV. Hard drive space is one of the first things people want to upgrade after purchasing their system. This is what lead to the 1 Beyond removable cartridge being standard.

If you are replacing the drive in your laptop because it is defective, you do not need anything else besides the bare drive. You can use the caddy, brackets, or connectors from your old drive on the new drive. If you purchased your laptop without a hard drive or want to be able to swap between 2 drives, you may need to purchase a caddy or other items that mount your hard drive in your computer.

Do not confuse your hard drive with memory. Your hard drive is like a filing cabinet. It's a place to store a lot of information for a long time. Your RAM (memory) is kind of like the top of your desk. This is where your system stores the information you're currently working on. RAM is about 100 times faster than a hard drive. However, your hard drive can store information after the power is turned off, whereas RAM cannot. Your system needs both memory and a hard drive to operate properly.

Windows: By default, the preferences are stored in HKCU/Software/BitWise Chat/BitWise. Optionally, you may store the preferences in BitWise.ini in your home folder by pressing "Setup" prior to logging in and specifying you wish to store your preferences in that file rather than the registry. Detached mode allows you to use basic client features even when your computer cannot maintain communication with the BitWise server.

Both Netscape and Microsoft have measures in place that limit the number of cookies that will be saved on your hard drive at one time. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape conform to the RFC 2109 limitations on your total cookie count to 300 (this includes a limit of 20 cookies per individual domain). If you exceed this, the browser will discard your least-used cookies to make room for the new ones.

After a cookie is transmitted through an HTTP header, it is stored in the memory of your browser. This way the information is quickly and readily available without re-transmission. As we have seen, however, it is possible for the lifetime of a cookie to greatly exceed the amount of time the browser will be open. In such cases, the browser must have a way of saving the cookie when you are not browsing, or when your computer is shut off.

Check question number 6 about startup disks; most people need these because of hard disk problems. Apple provides an "erase disk" option on their main menu which will re-initialize some but not all hard drives. Apple also has a "disk test" utility to test formatted disks. There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it.

Each person who has logged into the computer will have his or her files and settings stored in a folder named with his or her user name. Only the person who is logged in (or an Administrator) can access his or her personal folder. To find these user folders: The My Documents folder is located within this user folder (Note: The My Documents icon on your desktop is a shortcut to this folder). Files that were saved to the desktop are located in the Desktop folder.

Most external drives you purchase are formatted for PCs. If you are only going to use it with your Mac then you should reformat the drive by using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If you are gong to use it with your Mac and a PC then use "MS-DOS file system" format. To format or reformat a drive you will have to erase it. So before you erase the drive, copy your files to another drive.

There are lots of reasons, actually. For one, while hard drives on computers ? especially desktop computers ? are quite large these days, digital cameras and camcorders are capturing images and video footage that's larger than ever. So while your new 10 megapixel camera can take pictures with enough resolution to make huge prints, those digital images are also going to gobble up huge amounts of space on your computer's hard drive. And High Definition Video (HDV) footage? Fuggedaboutit.
