●Are the pins and holes on the IDE connectors straight and not deformed? Check the connectors. (→P. 43)
●Are your IDE devices connected correctly?
If only one device is connected to one IDE cable, check that the setting of the device is MASTER or CSEL. When you connect two IDE devices to one IDE
cable, be sure to assign each as MASTER or SLAVE respectively. If the setting of the CRW2200E is CSEL, change the setting to MASTER or SLAVE. (→P. 42)

●Does your computer have several different CD writing software applications installed?
If you use two or more CD writing software application simultaneously, the behavior of the drive may become unpredictable.
