*************************************************************** Limitations on Driver Software for Windows NT August 25, 2000 *************************************************************** 1. The limitations related to the Windows NT4.0 specifications. (1) The name designated as "Removable Drive" including the DVD-RAM drive cannot be changed. (2) "Recycle bin" will not be created in removable disks including DVD-RAM disc. Therefore, the files once deleted will not be saved in the trash box. (3) The 2.32GB FAT DVD-RAM disc formatted using the Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Millennium Edition OS embedded format software cannot be read and written under Windows NT. (This happens because Windows NT does not support Super Floppy Disk format type for more than 2 GB.) If the data compatibility for Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Millennium Edition is necessary, use the formatter for the UDF format or the FAT16-2.0GB format. (4) When you login with the user name that does not belong to "Administrator group", nothing will happen even if you open [My Computer] and click the right button of the mouse on the [Removable Disk] icon to open the menu and select [Format]. 2. Formatting DVD-RAM disc (1) You must use the attached format software "DVDForm" for formatting a DVD-RAM disc. When starting Disk Administrator with the UDF formatted DVD-RAM disc, the disk space will be recognized as vacant because the UDF is not supported. (2) FDISK FAT-16 2.32GB (Windows NT only) and FAT-16 2.0GB When a DVD-RAM disc is formatted with FDISK FAT-16 2.32GB (for Windows NT only), the cluster size will become 64KB with the total 38,076 clusters. When the disc is formatted with FAT-16 2.0GB format type, the cluster size will be 32KB with the total 65,397 clusters. The FAT-16 2.32GB formatted disc needs at least 64KB as a minimum writing sector even for a small file. Therefore, the FAT-16 2.32GB format is very optimized for storing big capacity files with a small number of files. On the other hand, in some instances, the FAT-16 2.0GB format is effective for storing a large number of small files. 3. UDF formatted DVD-RAM disc The UDF formatted DVD-RAM disc, in some instances, is not as good when handling a large number of files. 4. NTFS file type Under Windows NT 4.0, if a NTFS formatted DVD-RAM disc is inserted in the drive, the disc will be locked in and cannot be ejected. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the UDF file type or the FAT file type be used for a DVD-RAM disc. ENDDownload Driver Pack
