3. If the PX-708A 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. Use the motherboard BIOS setup program to set up IDE Master and
Slave designations, as needed for your configuration, on the primary
or secondary IDE bus. If the IDE interface is disabled on your
computer, you will need to enable it. If a Master or Slave device is
set to “disable” or “none” or a similar designation, change it as
appropriate to “enable” or “auto” (or something similar, depending
on your setup program).
5. Save and exit your CMOS setup to restart your computer with the
new settings.
6. 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” entry underneath.

In Windows 2000 or XP, right-click on the My Computer icon and
