[. . . ] 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. 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. As soon as the disc/CD is complete, it can no longer be written to (single session CD). ECP ECP stands for Extended Capability Port and is a more powerful version of the EPP. EPP EPP stands for Enhanced Parallel Port and refers to an extended standard of the parallel interface which allows higher data transfer rates and makes it possible to connect several devices. Necessary (according to Red Book regulations) for audio CDs which cannot be read by normal reading devices (CD players) if they have not been finalised. Finalisation consists of a lead-in and a lead-out (as with fixing) with a final table of contents. Because only one lead-in and one lead-out are permitted on an audio CD, any fixing here will automatically finish the CD. All data from the session and from any previous sessions can be read by normal CD-ROMs. This process requires an enormous amount of space, using up approximately 15 MB. This means that less data can be written on multisession CDs than on single session CDs.

High Sierra/High Sierra Format The Hotel in Nevada, USA where in 1985 the foundation was laid for determining the file systems for CDs. The efforts of the group which came to be known as the "High Sierra Group" led to the standard ISO 9660, the most common file system for CDs. A CD that conforms to this standard is at times still referred to as a "High Sierra" CD. The original High Sierra format has almost died out; as a rule, ISO 9660 is used instead. ISO 9660 ISO 9660 describes the requirements a CD file system has to fulfil. Only the capital letters from A to Z, the digits 0 to 9 and the underscore symbol are permitted for file and directory names. [. . . ] This type of hard disk is unsuitable as a source drive (or for physical and virtual images). The table of contents documents not only the number of tracks but also their starting position and the total length of the data area of the disc. In contrast, all the data of a data CD is contained within a single track. Older devices can produce a whistling sound which can damage your stereo system. [. . . ]
