- The Win32 port of cdrdao is based on the Cygwin Unix environment for Windows.
- This package comes with the binary version of the cygwin1.dll. You can download
- the corresponding source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrdao
- in the download section or via www.cygwin.com.
-
- This port should work on all Win32 operation systems.
-
- If you will use "cdrdao.exe" in dos prompt under win9x, (or restart in MS-DOS
- mode also), you have to check off "Auto Insert Notification" of the CD-R drive
- property. When you do "cdrdao.exe read-xx" with "Auto Insert Notification"
- property, your PC will hang (write is O.K.).
-
- During writing you should avoid to open the Explorer and similar tools.
- Currently, cdrdao does not lock the recording device so that all access
- action from the Explorer will lead to a failure of the recording process.
-
- Cdrdao requires a working ASPI installation for operation. You can fetch
- an ASPI installation package from Adaptec's home page. After a successful
- ASPI installation the command
-
- cdrdao scanbus
-
- should list all of your CD-ROM, DVD and recorder devices. If not the following
- registry changes should make them visible:
-
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Aspi32]
- "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
- "Type"=dword:00000001
- "Start"=dword:00000002
-
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Aspi32\Parameters]
- "ExcludeMiniports"=""
-
- You can also execute the file "aspi.reg" to make the registry updates
- automatically.
-
- A 'cdrdao scanbus' output looks like this:
-
- 1,0,0: E-IDE, CD-ROM 52X/AKH, A6E
- 1,1,0: ARTEC, WRR-4048, 1.01
-
- The number triple (e.g. 1,0,0) is the address of the drive. It must be
- used with the --device option of cdrdao to select the recorder or reader
- device. For example copying a CD works like this:
-
- cdrdao copy --source-device 1,0,0 --device 1,1,0
-
- For simple tests you can use test toc-files from the "testtocs"
- directory:
-
- cdrdao simulate --device x,y,z testtocs/t1.toc
-
- This will run a write simulation with the layout of a simple audio CD.
- It is very useful to verify the principal functionality of cdrdao on
- you system.
