1. Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing the KanguruQuick Silver CDRW drive from Kanguru
Solutions!
These high speed USB2.0 and Firewire CDRWs are a great way to add the ability to
burn CDs with your PC, Notebook or Mac. The KanguruQuick Silver CDRW utilizes
new USB2.0 connectivity, providing plug and play ability and speeds 40 times faster
than USB1.1. This allows you to take advantage of some of the fastest burn speeds ever!
Choose from two different speeds, 48x or 52x! Both offer “Burn Proof” technology to
ensure fast, accurate burns.
Choose Firewire or USB2.0, which is backwards compatible with USB1.1 ports.
Both provide incredible throughput speeds and plug and play ability!
NOTE: In order to reach USB 2.0 speed, you must have a computer or host adapter
card that has USB 2.0 support. This device will automatically sense the speed of
your USB port and adjust between USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speed. If you do not have
USB 2.0 support, the device will work at USB 1.1 speeds. Kanguru Solutions carries
a wide variety of USB 2.0 PCI cards, adapters, and hubs should the need arise.

This folder can be found in the Drivers folder under the Windows folder. If your
system ever needs to refer to these driver files, this is where they can be located.
• Windows ME / 2000 / XP
The KanguruQuick Silver USB2.0 does not require any driver files for Win ME,
Win2000, or Win XP. These operating systems already have built-in drivers, which will
support KanguruQuick Silver USB2.0 CDRW.
Simply plug in the KanguruQuick Silver into the USB 2.0 port and Windows will
automatically detect the new hardware and install the appropriate driver.
When the installation has completed successfully, you will find a “Compact Disc” drive
icon showing in “My Computer”.
• Macintosh 8.6 and above
Macs also have the built-in driver to support KanguruQuick Silver. Simply plug in the
KanguruQuick Silver CDRW into the USB port, and your Mac OS will automatically
install the driver and an icon will show up on your desktop if a CD is inserted into the
drive.
Note: The CD icon will only appear on your desktop when the CD is inserted into the
drive. You will not see a CDRW drive icon on your desktop if there isn’t a CD present.

of the operating systems. The drives are compatible in Win 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP, as
well as Mac 8.6 and above.
Note: The CD icon will only appear on your desktop when the CD is inserted into the
drive. You will not see a CDRW drive icon on your desktop if there isn’t a CD present. If
you are not seeing the CD icon on your desktop please try the following:
1.) 1.) Click on the apple icon in the upper left corner and select Control Panel

whatever you like.
