Notes:
❑
The IDE DVD-R/-RW drive is a true Plug-N-Play device; therefore, it will
be detected automatically by Windows 98SE/Me/2000-Professional/XP.
There is no need to install any drivers.
❑
The drive is recognized by the operating system as a typical CD-ROM
drive. Once you confirm that you can read (play) data discs from the DVD-
R/-RW drive, install the Roxio software to enable recording to DVD-R,
DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-RW discs. (See “Chapter 3. Installing Software”
on page 13.)
