Troubleshooting i.LINK Drives
Why isn’t my i.LINK drive playing a CD or DVD properly?
The i.LINK optical drive will not play a CD or DVD if the disc was inserted with
the label facing down. Eject the CD or DVD from the drive, and make sure the
label is facing up. The disc will also not play properly under the following
circumstances:
❑ The disc requires a particular software that is not already installed on your
computer. Install that software according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
❑ The DVD is not compatible with the optical drive and a region code warning
appears when you try to play it. Make sure the region code listed on the
DVD package is compatible with the drive.
Why won’t my i.LINK drive play my computer programs?
If multiple i.LINK®

devices are connected to the computer, the software
supplied with your computer will not recognize them. Turn off your computer
and all connected devices. Disconnect the devices that are not in use. See
“i.LINK optical (disc) drives” for instructions on reconnecting the i.LINK
device.
