FREECOM FX-50

1.1 Assigning the drive letter

After successfully completing the installation of the Freecom FX-50, a new drive letter is assigned automatically (the first available letter after the internal hard drives). This can shift the drive letter of an internal CD-ROM drive (for example, 'D' to 'E'). If this leads to problems, it is possible to change the drive letter assignment as follows:

- under Windows 98 and ME:

1.Click on "Start" - "Settings" - "Control Panel".

2.Click on "System".

3.Select "Device Manager" and click on "CD-ROM" or "Drive".

4.Click on the Freecom FX-50, then on "Properties" - "Settings". (The currently assigned drive letter as well as the reserved drive letters will then be displayed.)

5.Under "Reserved Drive Letter" enter a drive letter, for example "F" for the Freecom FX-50 as the "First drive letter" and "F" again as the "Last drive letter".

6.Confirm your selection with "OK". When you restart your computer, the Freecom FX-50 will be assigned the letter F in "My Computer".

- under Windows 2000 and XP:

1.Click "Start" - "Settings" - "Control Panel" - "Administration" - "Computer Administration".

2.Click "Disk Maintenance" and then select the Freecom drive.

3.Inthe "Operation" menu("Action" inWindowsXP),selectAllTasksandthen click Change drive letter and path.

4.In the next window, click "Change" and select a drive letter in Assign the following drive letters.

5.Click "Yes" to confirm your change.

1.2 Operating Freecom drives

Freecom drives are just as easy to use as an internal device.

One big advantage of Freecom devices is their portability. By connecting to the cable interface, it is very easy to use the drive with various computer systems.

To insert and remove media (CDs, DVDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs), press the eject button. (This is only active when the drive is ready for operation.)

When inserting a media, please make sure that the printed side is facing up. Do not touch the underside of the media. Fingerprints can lead to read errors or even make your media unusable.
