1.2 About InCD
InCD, the packet writing application, allows you to format discs so that they can be used as
large diskettes. You can copy files onto the disc using drag and drop in Windows® Ex-
plorer® or save them to the disc from other applications. InCD uses the UDF file system and
is compatible with the UDF reader in Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP. The disc can be
checked for errors following formatting. InCD can access data in defective sectors in file sys-
tems above UDF 2.50 thanks to its option of duplicated metadata and thus offers additional
protection for data. With SmartDetect, InCD moreover features a technology which automati-
cally detects the writing characteristics of recorders, even if the recorder is newer than the
InCD version. It goes without saying that media written with InCD are compatible with other
standard UDF software products.
With InCD, you can also read discs that were created with SecurDisc™ technology. Se-
curDisc™ is an innovative hardware and software based security technology developed by
Nero and HLDS; it allows you to create discs with special data integrity, redundancy, encryp-
tion, and copy protection security features. These discs can be created with SecurDisc™
compatible drives such as those from HLDS/LG and Nero Express, and then read in any
drive with Nero InCD or InCD Reader.
If a SecurDisc™ disc has been protected by copy protection that can be removed using a
password, then it can be read with InCD if a SecurDisc™ drive is connected and you know
the password.
InCD no longer only uses rewritable discs (CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-RW). You
can now write to all commercially available discs using InCD – but write-once discs (R
discs) cannot be erased and reformatted.
