Load Master Disc onto the Hard Drive
In order to copy from the Hard Drive, you are required to load your Master Disc 
onto a hard drive partition.
The number of partitions the hard drive can hold is determined by the capacity of 
your hard drive and the size of the partitions you created.
For example, if you have an 80GB Hard Drive with a system capacity of 74GB.* 
You can load 74 CDs or 19 DVDs (given a 4GB average capacity).
*There are many factors that could contribute to the capacity 
difference between the advertised capacity and the actual capacity:
 ▪Hard Drive Manufactures use conversion rate of 1GB = 1 Billion Bytes 
or 1000^3 Bytes. However, most Operating Systems, including our 
Duplication System use standard conversion rate of 1GB = 1.074 Billion 
Bytes or 1024^3 Bytes. Therefore, for an advertised 80GB Hard Drive (80 
Billion Bytes), the Duplication System capacity is actually 74.5 Billion 
Bytes (74.5GB).
 ▪In addition, we round off all fractions of a GB to the lower whole number. 
That means for a hard drive that has a 74.5GB system capacity, we only 
recognize and utilize 74GB.
The following steps will show you how to load your Master Disc into the installed 
Hard Drive as a partition and copy the stored partition onto blank discs. This process 
is recommended for mass volume production.
To load your Master Disc onto a hard drive partition, please do the following:
1. Make sure the Source is set to the Hard Drive.
It is very important to make sure the Source is set for the Hard Drive in order to 
avoid unnecessary error messages. To check what the Source is set to, please do 
the following:
a. Use UP or DOWN arrow button to navigate to the following screen.
b. Press ENT to enter “Select Source” menu and you shall see the following:
Make sure it is located at “Hard Drive”. If not, press the UP or DOWN 
arrow button to search for it.
