Instructions
Driver Installation
The software installation starts
with activating the reading func-
tion of the drive (CD-ROM).
If you are using the DVD Writer
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/
2000/XP or IBM OS/2 Warp, all
necessary drivers will be loaded
automatically by the operating
system.
Drivers mentioned above are part
of the Operating Systems and not
available from NEC.
To use the IDE/ATAPI DVD Writer
with MS-DOS and MS-Windows
3.xx, you have to install the at-
tached driver software before you
can use the DVD Writer for the
first time.
Refer to the README.TXT file on
the driver disk for information
about installing this driver.
This drive supports RPC according
to SFF8090v4 (RPC-2). The final
setting/definition of the video
region code is determined by the
fifth DVD video region code change.
For Windows 3.xx don’t use the
32 bit hard disk access, because
this mode is not supported for
DVD drives.
If the reading function is availa-
ble the next is to achieve the
writing function provided by the
writing software. Please insert
Your writing software CD-ROM
into the DVD Writer and use the
information provided with the
software (if the installation does
not starting automatically you
have to activate the installation
software manually).
To disable or enable drive’s buffer
under run prevention technology
you need a writer S/W supporting
this function.
