Chapter Seven – FastCD

The Advanced Image Options Tab Section
1. When you configured FastCD, you set default image op-
tions. Those options are displayed here. You can override
your default settings for the current image-build by click-
ing on the Data Compression and Auto Eject
checkboxes.
Building a virtual CD image from a CD-ROM can take any-
where from a few minutes to a few hours. The length of time
depends on a number of variables: the speed of the server; the
speed of the CD-ROM drive, the size and content of the CD-
ROM or DVD-ROM; whether the CD whose image you are
building is across the network in a CD-ROM drive on a
DiscPort, DiscPort XL, DiscPort PRO, DiscPort Executive, or
DiscPort Tower; and whether or not Data Compression has
been enabled.
If you are going to build a number of virtual CD images, or
even if you are building just one, you might want to consider
scheduling the builds during a time when the most resources
are available. Typically, that is in the evening or overnight.
2. If you decide to delay the start of the virtual CD image
build, in the Schedule FastCD Creation Time section,
click on the Delayed radio button and specify the Start
Time (based on a 24-hour clock) and the Start Date (day
of the month) in the respective fields.
3. Click on the OK button.
If you left the Immediate radio button selected, the CD image
build will begin, and the FastCD Image Creation Status
dialog will display. Otherwise, the build will begin at the time
specified in the Schedule section.
