Q: The CD-ReWriter doesn’t show up in My Computer or Explorer.
The following steps will assist you to get your drive to work as a CD-ROM:
If you cannot find CD-ReWriter in Explorer, restart your computer, or shut it down
and then turn it on again.
Make sure the computer is plugged in and that each device has power. To check if
the CD-ReWriter receives power properly, you can check the power indicator or test
it by pressing eject button to see if the tray opens and closes.
Disconnect and then reconnect the CD-Rewriter’s power cable. This might fix a
faulty connection.

Q: Not sure which drive letter was assigned to the CD-ReWriter.
The CD-ReWriter will have an icon, just like a CD-ROM drive. You can easily see which
icon is CD-ReWriter by double-clicking “My Computer” icon, then right-click CD drive’s
icon, and selecting Eject. The tray of selected drive will open.
Q: The CD-ReWriter has problem in reading CD disc.
There are several ways to solve this problem as follows:
The CD disc in the tray may be loaded upside-down, or a little off-center. Try
re-loading the CD disc with its label side up.
After loading a CD disc, it will take a moment to let the CD-ReWriter read the disc
information. When the indicator on the front panel stops flashing and stays green, it
is ready for access.
If the disc you just loaded is a blank CD disc, try it later after copying some
information to the CD.
Q: Error message when double-clicking on the CD-ReWriter icon.
If there is no CD in the CD-ReWriter, load a CD disc and try again.
