The DVD Burner in the Netbook Mate requires USB 2.0
Speed in order to operate correctly. In order to reach USB
2.0 speeds, you must have a computer or host adapter that
has USB 2.0 support. Please check your computer or USB
host bus adapter documentation for more information.
Attaching your disk module to another computer
Your Netbook Mate disk module is connector-compatible with
standard USB devices. To connect the Netbook Mate disk module to
a standalone computer, simply use a standard mini-USB cable (the
same kind as to connect directly to your computer.) If you require
additional cables you may purchase one from your authorized Fantom
Drives reseller.
Q: When I try to burn CDs, I get a “Sense Key” error or other
burning failures
A: This is usually caused by burning at faster speed than the media
allows. Make sure the media you are writing to is compatible with
the speed you are trying to burn. Here are some suggestions to
successful burning:
• Try lowering the burn speed down
• Choose “Write CD” option instead of the “Write Session” option
• Optimize (defragment) your source hard disk drive
• The media used may be of low quality or incompatible- try another
brand.
Q: Can I use my Netbook Mate through a USB hub?
A: Yes, as long as the hub is a powered hub and USB 2.0 compliant.
Bus powered hubs do not work properly with mass storage devices.
For best results Fantom Drives recommends connecting directly to a
USB 2.0 port on the computer.
