If You Have Problems

Not sure which drive letter was assigned to the CD-Writer Plus

The CD-Writer Plus drive will have a drive icon just like a CD-ROM drive icon. You can determine which icon is your CD-ROM drive and which icon is your CD-Writer Plus drive by double-clicking on the My Computer icon, right-clicking on the CD drive’s icon, and selecting Eject. The tray of the selected drive will open.

The device that is sharing the IDE data cable with my CD- Writer Plus drive doesn’t show up in Explorer or doesn’t work any more.

Turn off and unplug your computer.

Make sure that the power cables are securely attached to both devices.

If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the CD-Writer Plus drive and another device, did you change the data-cable (middle/end) connector attached to the device that was already inside your computer?

If yes, change the data-cable connector location back to the original position. The other device may be jumpered to “cable-select” rather than “Master” or “Slave.” If this is true, the location of the data-cable connector (middle/end) is very important.

For Sony and Goldstar CD-ROMs try configuring the CD-Writer as “Master” and the CD-ROM as “Slave”.

Error message when I double-click on the CD-Writer Plus icon

There is no CD in the CD-Writer Plus drive; insert a CD and try again.

After inserting a CD, you need to wait a moment to let the CD-Writer Plus drive read the disc information (wait until the light on the front of the drive stops flashing and stays green), then click on the CD- Writer Plus drive’s icon again.

The CD may be in the tray upside-down or a little off-center; try reinserting the CD. The label should be facing up.

You are trying to read from a blank recordable CD. Try again after copying some information to the CD.
