Make Sure the Drive Is Recognized

After installation, make sure the drive is recognized by your computer.
To check whether it 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 icons displayed on the desktop.
2. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and ensure there is an
icon for the PX-708UF. The drive may be D: or E: or another
designator.
3. In Windows 98SE, or Me, once the system comes up click the Start
button, then Settings, then Control Panel, then double-click on
System icon, then click on Device Manager tab. Click the + sign
next to the CD-ROM heading and look at the PLEXTOR DVDR PX-
708A device entry underneath.
-or-
In Windows XP or 2000, 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 at the PLEXTOR DVDR PX-708A device
entry underneath.
4. If your USB or IEEE 1394 controller has a yellow diamond with an
exclamation point (!), contact your PC or motherboard manufacturer
for help, and to troubleshoot your controller for driver compatibility
or conflicts. It may just be a matter of obtaining the latest driver, or a
motherboard BIOS update, from the manufacturer.
5. If the USB or IEEE 1394 controller is listed and does not have a
yellow diamond with an exclamation point, but you do not see this
drive listed as one of the devices, contact our Technical Support
group at 1-800-886-3935, or email us at support@Plextor.com for
help troubleshooting.
