Installing your CD-R/RW drive
Required tools
• A medium-size Phillips screwdriver
• Long-nose pliers
To install your CD-R/RW drive:
1Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Unplug your computer’s
power cord from the AC power outlet.
Static electricity discharge can damage electronic circuitry. You can avoid
static discharge by touching a grounded metal object, like your computer
case, before and during installation of hardware inside your computer.
2Remove the cover of your computer. Be careful of any sharp edges on the
sheet metal or plastic.
3If there is no other CD drive installed in your system, we recommend install-
ing the CD-R/RW drive in the Secondary IDE port. It is unnecessary to adjust
any other jumpers on the CD-R/RW drive. Proceed to Step 4.
Or, if a CD drive is already installed in your system, we recommend that you
install the original CD drive on the Secondary IDE channel as the master
device (MA), and the CD-R/RW drive on the Secondary IDE channel as the
slave device (SL). Follow the steps below:
DX-CDRW52.fm Page 6 Friday, April 1, 2005 4:16 PM

Features 7
• Make sure that your Secondary IDE cable has two ports available for two
IDE devices. If not, ask your system board manufacturer or purchase one
from a computer hardware store.
• If the original CD drive was installed in the Primary IDE channel, discon-
nect it from the Primary IDE cable.
• Adjust the Device Configuration jumper of the original CD drive to the
Master (MA) position.
• Adjust the Device Configuration jumper of the CD-R/RW drive to the
Slave (SL) position.

4Remove the 5.25-inch drive filler panel. For information on how to remove
this, see to your computer’s user guide.
5Insert the CD-R/RW drive into the open slot. It should easily slide into place.
Make sure that you do not pinch the cables.
6Use the four M3 × 0.5 × 4 mm screws (provided) to secure the drive into
the bay.
This CD-R/RW drive can be installed and operated both horizontally and
vertically.

7Locate your computer’s power supply and find an unused power cable con-
nector. If you do not have an available power connector, you must buy a
Y-power cable splitter that expands one power connector into two. You can
buy a power cable splitter from a computer store.
8Plug an IDE cable into the 40-pin Secondary IDE connector on your system
board, then connect the cable to your CD-R/RW drive. Attach the audio
cable if necessary. If you had another CD drive with audio cable attached, it
is not necessary to attach the audio cable to your CD-R/RW drive.

10 Installing CD software
9Put your computer’s cover back on. Be careful of any sharp edges.
10 Plug in your computer’s power cord, then turn on the computer. Your
CD-R/RW drive is now ready to use.
Installing CD software
The software thatcame with your CD drivelets you make audio and data CDs right
from your desktop. It also lets you copy files from your computer to a recordable
CD. Music CDs you create with the software can be played on most home or auto
CD players. Using CD-RWs, you can write and erase data on the CD multiple times,
just like you can with a diskette.
To install the software:
1Insert the CD into your CD drive. The software installation starts automati-
cally.
Or, insert the CD into your CD drive, then run the file install.exe or
setup.exe.
2See the manual in the software CD for more information.

Troubleshooting 11
Troubleshooting
Write problems
Symptom Possible Causes Solutions
Computer doesn’t
recognize the new drive Bad connection between IDE cable and your
CD-R/RW drive
Make sure that cables and connector pins are not damaged, bent, or
dented.
Conflicts with other IDE
devices Make sure that the Master/Slave device setting of your drive doesn’t conflict with the other IDE device connected to the same IDE port.
Use of other CD writing
software which does not
support your CD-R/RW
drive
Use the software provided with this drive. When using other software,
make sure that your CD-R/RW drive is supported by contacting the
software manufacturer.
Cannot write Use of other writing
software which does not
support your CD-R/RW
drive
Use the software provided with this drive. When using other software,
make sure that your CD-R/RW drive is supported by contacting the
software manufacturer.
CD inserted upside down Reinsert the CD with label side up.
No power Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to the connector.
IDE cable isn’t connected
properly Make sure that the IDE cable connector pins are not bent.
More than one CD writing
software program installed Remove the other CD writing software. Only one CD writing software program should be installed on your computer.
Cannot add information to
a CD-RW Previously written with another CD writing
software
If different CD writing software is used, errors may occur. Always use the
same CD writing software.
Information exceeds
CD-R/RW capacity Capacity of CD-R/RW media is limited to 650 MB (74 min. capacity media) including lead-in, lead-out, and TOC data. Use a new CD-R/RW
disc if the capacity is insufficient for the additional data.
DX-CDRW52.fm Page 11 Friday, April 1, 2005 4:16 PM

12 Troubleshooting
Read problems
Cannot write at highest
speed CD-R/RW media is not compatible with the
highest speed
Use compatible discs or use a lower speed.
Defective CD-R/RW media CD-R/RW media may be dirty, scratched, or damaged. Try another
CD-R/RW.
Use of other CD writing
software not bundled with
your CD-R/RW drive
Use the CD writing software provided with this drive. When using other
software, make sure your CD-R/RW drive is supported by contacting the
software manufacturer.
Source drive does not
support highest speed of
the destination drive
Copy all files to your hard drive, then write from your hard drive to the
CD-R. Or, use a slower writing speed.
Source disc is poor quality Make image files, then burn the image file onto the CD-R/RW.
DMA function disabled Make sure to enable the DMA function on both source and target drives.
Symptom Possible Causes Solutions
Computer doesn’t
recognize the new drive IDE cable and the CD-R/RW drive not connected
properly
Make sure that both IDE connectors are properly connected to the IDE
ports on the system board and CD-R/RW.
Conflicts with other IDE
devices Make sure that the Master/Slave device setting of the CD-R/RW drive doesn’t conflict with the other IDE device connected to the same IDE
port.
Power is not switched on Make sure that the LED of your CD-R/RW drive is on. If not, turn on your
computer.
No operation No power Make sure thatthe power supply cable is connected securely to your
drive. Make sure that your computer is turned on.
IDE cable isn’t connected
properly Make sure the IDE cable connectors and pins are not damaged, bent, or dented.
Cannot read photo CD discs Bad photo CD disc Try another photo CD disc. If it works, the first photo CD was defective,
and you should replace it.
Need special application
software Make sure that Kodak Photo CD Access Plus Software is installed.
Cannot read CD-I discs Need special application
software Make sure that application software such as Cyberlink Powerplayer is installed.
Symptom Possible Causes Solutions
DX-CDRW52.fm Page 12 Friday, April 1, 2005 4:16 PM

Troubleshooting 13
Read error occurs Defective CD Deep scratches, fingerprints, or other contaminants on the disc surface
can interfere with the drive reading the data. Always keep discs clean.
Music CD inserted Because most audio CDs do not contain computer data, some computer
commands result in an error message while an audio CD is in your drive.
Disc inserted upside down Remove the disc from the tray and reinsert it with the label side up.
Excessive noise when
reading Eccentric (imperfectly formed) disc is loaded Replace the disc with another one.
Seal still present on the
disc surface Carefully remove the seal while being careful to avoid scratches.
Cannot eject tray Eject locked by software
(Windows 9x/NT 4.0) Restart the computer, then try to open the tray again.
CD set incorrectly into tray Insert a straightened paper clip or pin into the manual eject hole, then
manually open the tray. If the manual eject hole doesn’t work, use a
pair of tweezers or pliers to carefully grasp the front of the tray, then
carefully pull it out.
Can read only the first
session of a multisession
disc
“Close session” was not
selected whenthediscwas
written
Additional session cannot be read because the previous session was not
closed. Rewrite to another CD-R/RW.
Cannot read the former
session of the CD-R/RW
disc which has been
written at least twice
Load Contents or
Import Session wasn’t
selected in the writing
software
If the CD was recorded without checking Load Contents or Import
Session,it is impossible to read. When using utility software such as
Session Selection from Adaptec, the former session can be read.
