Make Sure the Drive Is Recognized
After installation, make sure the PlexWriter drive and other IDE peripherals are
recognized by your computer. To check whether they are recognized:
To see if the drive is recognized in Windows:
1. Turn the computer ON. After the computer boots up, you should see the
Windows display.
2. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and ensure there is an icon for the
PlexWriter, the hard disk, and other CD-ROM drives, if present. The PlexWriter
may be D: or E: or another designator.
3. If the PlexWriter drive is not recognized in Windows, reboot the computer and
use your computer’s setup program to program the BIOS to recognize it.
NOTE: Refer to the computer’s documentation for information on how to run the
motherboard BIOS setup program.
4. Use the motherboard BIOS setup program to set up IDE Master and Slave
designations, as needed for your configuration, on the primary or secondary IDE
bus. If the IDE interface is disabled on your computer, you will need to enable it.
If a master or slave device is set to “disable” or “none” or a similar designation,
change it as appropriate to “enable” or “auto” (or something similar, depending
on your setup program).
5. Save and exit your CMOS setup to restart your computer with the new settings.
