[. . . ] CD-R Compact Disc-Recordable, designation for recordable CDs. CD-ROM (Single and Multisesssion) CD-ROM describes a CD which contains computer data much like a hard disk. CD-RW Compact Disc-ReWritable, designation for rewritable CDs. CD-XA XA stands for "Extended Architecture" and is a standard for Multimedia CDs containing audio and computer data. Defragmenting A hard disk can be defragmented using the DOS command `defrag' or a similar tool from other operating systems. Due to the fact that files are constantly deleted and new ones written to the hard disk, files are no longer grouped together in physically contiguous blocks but instead are scattered, i. e. Defragmentation rewrites the files so that they are put back together again. This does not affect the directory structure or the data contents. The advantage of defragmentation is that it allows files to be accessed quicker by simplifying the searching process. We strongly recommend defragmenting your hard disk before writing a CD. Disc-at-Once Not all drives support the procedure of writing a CD in a single process. of 8 characters, the extension only up to 3. The filename must be at least one character in length, for example `A'. A version number (1 to 32767) can be appended (for example `A. B;1'). A maximum directory hierarchy of eight levels is permitted whereby the root is considered the first level. The ISO 9660 employs specifications of the High Sierra Group and is for that reason also called the High Sierra format. There are also other file systems ( for example, Joliet for Win95 or HFS for Apple Macintosh) which, however, can only be recognised on these types of systems. Joliet CD file system that supports long filenames and can be used under Windows . 95. For full compatibility to DOS, an ISO 9660 file system must be created. This is a part of the complete Joliet system. Lead-In The lead-in is a data area at the beginning of a CD-R session. This area contains the directory (table of contents TOC) of a session. [. . . ] In contrast, all the data of a data CD is contained within a single track. A Mixed-Mode CD has a data track (track 1) and audio tracks. The data track cannot be played back with an audio player. Older devices can produce a whistling sound which can damage your stereo system. [. . . ]
