Driver Installation
When you boot your computer after mounting the drive, the
software installation starts by activating the reading function of the
drive (CD-ROM). If you are using the slimline drive with Windows
95/98/ME/ NT/ 2000/ XP/ Vista/ Win 7 or IBM OS/2 Warp/Mac OS
and various Linux distributions, all necessary drivers will be
loaded automatically by the operating system.
Drivers mentioned above are part of the Operating Systems and are not available
from Sony Optiarc.
Software Installation
With the reading function available, the next step will be to install
writing and Playback software (to be acquired separately). Please
insert your software CD/DVD-ROM into the drive and follow
instructions provided by the software developers. If the installation
does not start automatically you have to activate the software
installation manually.
