Make Sure the Drive Is Recognized

If you're having trouble after installation, make sure the PX-610U drive
is recognized by your computer. To check whether the drive is
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 Plextor drive, the hard disk, and another DVD or CD-
ROM drive, if present. The Plextor icon may be D: or E: or another
designator.
3. If the PX-610U 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. Save and exit your CMOS setup to restart your computer with the
new settings.
5. In Windows Vista or XP, right-click on the My Computer icon and
select Properties. Click on the Hardware tab, then click on the
Device Manager button. Click the + sign next to the DVD/CD-ROM
drives heading and look for the "PLEXTOR DVDR PX-610U" entry
underneath.
If you do not see this drive listed as one of the devices, or if it has a
yellow diamond with an exclamation point (!), contact Plextor Technical
Support. (See "Appendix A: Technical Support" for the different ways
you can contact us.)
