USB2.0 Users
USB 2.0 is a very new technology. Therefore, most computers do not have native support for
USB 2.0. You must install a USB 2.0 adapter card for your External drive to run at USB 2.0
speeds. If you do not have a USB 2.0 card installed, this drive will still work connected to a
standard USB 1.1 connection, but the speed will be limited to USB 1.1 speed. After installing
a USB 2.0 adapter card, follow the steps below for your operating system to verify the USB
2.0 card is installed properly.
Windows® 98SE/ME users:
Right click My Computer and select Properties.
Select the Device Manager tab.
If there is a yellow exclamation point next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, contact the
card’s manufacturer for help.
Windows® 2000/XP users:
Right click My Computer and select Properties.
Select the hardware tab.
Click the Device Manager button.
If there is a yellow exclamation point next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, contact the
card’s manufacturer for help.
Instructions on Installing the USB Driver for Windows 98SE:
This USB drive is a Plug&Play USB storage device. If you are using any of the following
Operating Systems: such as Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, all you need to
do is plug it to your computer properly. Then the drive is ready to use.
Whereas, a PC using the Windows 98SE OS will not recognize this USB drive if you are
installing this drive for the first time. Therefore, you will need to install a driver into your
computer for this USB drive to properly install to your computer.
You can find the USB driver for Windows 98SE OS either in the included Floppy Disc or in
the USB driver for Windows 98 OS directory of the Burning Software kit. Please follow your
OS instructions to install the driver for this USB drive, then restart your computer.
CAUTION:
Please limit your CD recording speed to 4X or 8X if your computer is only equipped with a
slower speed USB1.1 interface or if your PCMCIA port does NOT support Card Bus interface.
Attempting high speed writing with a slow interface can cause frequent buffer overloading
and writing pauses (when the Busy LED is blinking) that could adversely affect recording
quality.
