Install Plextor Applications Software
Windows 95, 98, and NT can immediately operate your PlexWriter drive as a
CD-ROM device (reader) and permit the drive to be recognized by the computer's
operating system. In order to take advantage of the PlexWriter’s ability to
record
on
CD-R or CD-RW media, however, you will also need packet writing and mastering
applications software on your PC. You can also check the compatibility list on the
Plextor web site at www.plextor.com, for software that supports the PlexWriter
under other operating systems. You will need to purchase this software separately.
If you purchased your PlexWriter as part of a Plextor kit, much of the software you
need is included for use on a PC. Plextor has developed several utilities to help you
get the most from your PlexWriter drive.
