Using the Drive and Installing Software
USB Device:
When the drive is plugged into the computer for the first time, Windows Operating
Systems will show a message about new device detected, and will install drivers
automatically. Once drivers are installed, there will be a message shown: “Your
device is ready to use”, and you can start using the drive.
To use the drive:
As a CD-ROM drive: Most Windows Operating Systems (Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Window 7) supply a generic CD-ROM device
driver that lets the DVD writer function as a standard CD-ROM drive as soon as
it’s installed. If you’re using one of these operating systems, you do not need to
install additional software to read or play CDs.
As a DVD-ROM drive: The same operating systems also let the DVD writer
function as a DVD-ROM drive as soon as it’s installed. If you’re using one of
these operating systems, you do not need to install additional software to read
DVDs, however you will need special software to playback DVD video titles.
Please install the bundle software application.
As a CD or DVD writer: To write to CD or DVD media (recordable or
rewritable), you need to install additional utility software such as program
included on the software disc bundled with the drive. Please install these
application software for mastering disc, backing up files, capturing audio, and
more.
To Install Software:
Insert bundled utility software disc into the drive, the follow the on screen graphic
user interface (GUI) screen to install required programs. If the installation
program doesn’t start by itself, open “My Computer” screen, double-click to enter
the location where software CD is loaded, and manually start installation process
by double-click on “setup” icon.
