Loading Data to and Copying from the Hard Disk Source Drive
Note:
The following instructions apply only to Tower CD Duplicator models that
feature a factory-installed hard disk drive (CDW-D13H and CDW-D17H).
During initialization (see Step 3 on page 7), the CD Duplicator performs a selftest to detect source drives. The CD-ROM drive and hard disk drive will be
detected as available source drives. The CD-ROM drive is the default source
drive.
The internal hard disk drive was formatted and partitioned at the factory. Each
partition occupies 1GB of hard disk space. The number of partitions depends on
the capacity of the hard disk drive. Partitions are arranged alphabetically and
initially contain no data. A set of data loaded into a partition on the hard disk drive
is called an “image file.”
To use the hard disk drive as the source drive, you must first load an image file
from a CD onto a partition on the hard disk drive, select the partition that contains
the data you want to copy, specify the hard disk drive as the source drive, then
execute the copy function.

after the test is complete. This function is recommended if you are using
unsupported media. This function enables the target drive to adjust its laser to the
proper intensity.
TEAC Tower CD Duplicator User’s Manual13
Page 22
3 Test & Copy
Note: Unexpected termination or cancellation of a test will not affect a target
CD-R disc. The target CD-R disc will remain blank and available for use.
However, CD-RW discs that contain data may be damaged and the data they
contained may be rendered unrecoverable. It may be necessary to re-start the
CD Duplicator if the target drive hangs during a sudden termination.
3 Test & Copy
The Test & Copy function performs the test simulation and the copy process in one
step.
The copy process is performed only if the simulation detects no problems. If the
simulation fails, the copy process is cancelled.
4 Verify
The Verify function verifies that the target disc was written completely and with
no errors.
5 Compare
The Compare function compares data on the source and target discs after the copy
process is complete.
Note: This function works only with data discs.
6 Prescan
The Prescan function is performed on the source drive. This function scans the
disc to determine the maximum data/audio extraction speed.
7 Disc Info

Appendix C. About CD-R and CD-RW Discs
This appendix explains how to handle, load, and eject CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Handling Discs
❑Handle compact discs only by their edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the
surface. Do not touch the disc’s data surface (unlabeled side).
❑Do not place discs in direct sunlight or in locations subject to high humidity,
high temperatures, or dusty conditions.
❑If it becomes necessary to clean a disc due to erratic operation, visible dust,
or smudges, gently wipe the surface of the disc from the center to the outside
edge. Do not use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or other solvents.
