Appendix B: Installing a SCSI Drive in Windows
PlexWriter 12/4/32 Operation Manual

Did you use the Plextor PlexWriter CD?
You might have overlooked our instructions to use this disc to get the necessary
driver support for your SCSI interface board. If you used the Windows 95/98 disk or
CD, the configuration process may have copied the wrong, or incompatible driver.
To solve this problem:
1. Select Control Panel in My Computer.
2. Double-click on System.
3. Click on the tab called Device Manager at the top of the window.
4. In the new window of devices, double-click on SCSI Controllers. This displays
all the SCSI interface boards currently installed in your system.
5. Double-click on the SCSI controller for the PlexWriter.
6. Go to the Driver tab.
7. Click on Update Driver.
8. Click on Next.
9. Click on Other Locations.
10. Use the Browse button and go to the \ADAPTEC\SCSIDRVR\ folder of the
PlexWriter CD.
11. Highlight the driver listed.
12. Click on OK
13. When the driver is updated you will be prompted to reboot your system.
Reboot and everything should work fine.
Do you have Plug and Play enabled?
Another likely cause of problems is that your motherboard may not have a Plug-and-
Play-capable BIOS, or your Plug-and-Play SCSI interface board is not Plug-and-
Play-compliant. To solve this problem:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Check your motherboard BIOS (CMOS) or your SCSI controller BIOS to
confirm that Plug and Play is enabled. If it is disabled then enable Plug and Play.
3. If either your motherboard or your SCSI interface board does not support Plug
and Play, review the hardware installation procedures beginning on page 11 of
this manual. Make sure termination is set properly on your interface board and all
devices attached to it.
4. Restart your computer.
