Step 8: Boot your system
After checking the cable connections one last time, power up your system. To verify that Windows recognises the drive, go to My Computer and look for an icon for the new drive. If the icon doesn't appear, reboot and enter your PC's CMOS setup program, following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure both ATA channels are enabled in the setup routine and that the master and slave positions are correct.
Step 9: Configure Windows' settings
|
 Open the Device Manager to verify that Windows is set to use digital CD playback. |
Tip:
If you want to disable digital CD playback, you'll need to do it within Windows Media Player as well as within Device Manager.
Windows XP includes a "lite" version of Roxio's Easy CD Creator that makes it easy to write files to disc, but most drives provide one or more software titles with larger feature sets, such as Roxio's Easy CD & DVD Creator 6.0. To install your drive's software, insert the disc into any optical drive on your system. If the setup routine doesn't start automatically, browse the disc and run setup.exe.
