zTo improve the security of the computer, be sure to refer to "Windows Security
Center" (Îpage 39) and "Windows Update" (Îpage 40).
zIf you use the wireless LAN, be sure to refer to "Wireless LAN" (Îpage 37).
In some cases, the drive letters for the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive or connected
devices (SD memory cards, external drives, etc.) may change when the DVD-ROM &
CD-R/RW drive power is turned on or off. To prevent these letters from changing, we
recommend that you allocate the drive letter for the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive from
the latter half of the alphabet (e.g., "L drive").
Note, however, that even if you change the drive letter, this drive letter may still change
if you connect an SD memory card or USB devices after you have turned the DVD-
ROM & CD-R/RW drive power off.
zThe drive letter is a single character from A to Z allocated to storage devices
(drives) or network drives by Windows. The drive letter for A Drive, B Drive and C
Drive cannot be changed. You also cannot use a drive letter that is currently being
used by another device, or a drive letter that has already been allocated to a net-
work drive.
zAt the time of purchase, the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive is D Drive.
zWe recommend that you change the drive letter before installing application soft-
ware.
ALog on to Windows with the administrator authority.
BConfirm whether the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive power is on.
If the drive power is off, turn it on.
CClick [start] - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [Optical Disc Drive Letter-Set-
ting Utility].
DClick in [New drive letter], click the drive letter, and click [OK].
NOTE
zIf you have the Optical Disc Drive Letter-Setting Utility currently running while
logged on in one account, a different user cannot start it up after logging on in a
different account by using the Fast User Switching function.
