3.Reinstall the computer cover.

4.Reconnect all external devices.

5.Plug all power cords into the electrical outlets.

Step 8. Updating your computer configuration

After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer. Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed when you turn on your computer. If you do not see this screen, check your computer documentation for information about accessing the configuration or setup utility program.

To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press F1 during startup when the IBM graphic is displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen. When you have finished reviewing the information, save the changes and exit.

Step 9. Installing the CD-RW and DVD software

There are three software applications that you must install in order to use the CD-RW and DVD Video functions of your drive. All of these are included on the IBM CD-RW/DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD.

The IBM CD-RW/DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD contains the following software applications:

vIntervideo WinDVD, to support DVD video playback

vIBM RecordNow, to support traditional CD authoring

vIBM Drive Letter Access (DLA), to support drag-and-drop CD recording

vUDF Reader Software

To install these applications, perform the following steps:

1.Insert the IBM CD-RW/DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD into your CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive. A browser automatically starts.

2.In the browser, click RecordNow, click Drive Letter Access, and then click WinDVD.

3.Restart your computer.

4.If the browser does not start, open a command window and enter the following for each application, where e is the drive letter of your CD-RW/DVD Combination Drive:

e:\launch.bat

The IBM CD-RW/DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD contains several video device drivers in the \DRIVERS\VIDEO directory. These can be useful if you are having difficulty playing back DVD videos. Before using them, consult
