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”.

KanguruQuick Silver DVD+/-RW 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.
