If You Have Problems

■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 Plus as Master and the CD-ROM as Slave.

Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements.

See Minimum System Requirements on page A-1.

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.

I already placed Software Disc 1 in the CD-Writer Plus but itcontinues to prompt me to insert the CD.

■Make sure the jumper on the CD-Writer Plus is set as advised in the Install Recommendation Printout for your computer (see page 1-21 and page 1-25).

■Check the data cable and make sure the cable’s colored edge is aligned with PIN-1 on the CD-Writer Plus drive (see page 1-27).
