the data cable and power cables. Straighten bent pins. Make sure all
pins are covered and the cable’s colored stripe lines up with PIN-1 of
each connector.

If you changed the order of the data cable’s connectors on an IDE
device to make make room for your CD Writer, replace the connector
that was originally on the device and attach the CD-Write to a free

Recommendation’s instructions for determining the jumper setting

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 the identity of a 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.
