3. Install the driver software by following the on screen instructions.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP

If you are operating on Windows 2000 or Windows XP it will be necessary

to download the upgrade software from the Microsoft website.

Windows XP - Upgrade XP SP1 (Service Pack 1).

If the system displays the drive as "Unknown Device in Device Manager",

double click on the icon and select Install Driver.

This procedure should install the driver, the driver appearing under CD-

If you receive a message "Windows is already using the best driver for the

device" highlight and remove the Unknown Device.

Finally, restart your computer or turn the drive off and then on again.
