Device Performance

USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices such as your new HP CD-Writer Plus are so easy to disconnect and reconnect that you may want to use other devices of this type. The information below can help you maintain the CD-Writers performance when other USB devices are connected to your computer. Fast USB devices connected to your computer (such as the CD-Writer Plus, scanners, printers and speakers) work well as long as they are used one at a time. However, there is a drastic reduction in performance when two or more of these devices are used simultaneously. Typically, slow USB devices connected to your computer (such as mice, keyboards, and joysticks) do not decrease the performance of other slow USB devices. They can, however, affect the performance of fast devices when a slow and a fast device are used simultaneously.
Maintaining the Data Flow to the Drive
The CD-Writer Plus requires a constant stream of information from the computer in order to create CDs with the Easy CD Creator or CD Copier software. If the stream of information is interrupted (called a buffer underrun) the CD can be ruined.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE, CONNECT or TURN ON any other USB device while creating a CD with Easy CD Creator or CD Copier software.
The DirectCD software is not susceptible to buffer underruns. To understand when to use the different software programs, refer to section on making CDs that begins on page 4.

Using the Right Cable

The USB cable shipped with the CD-Writer Plus is a high-quality cable. Do not replace it with other cables or use cable extenders. Using lower quality cables could adversely affect drive performance.

Choosing a Hub

A hub allows you to connect multiple USB devices to your computer. To operate properly, the CD-Writer Plus requires a self-powered (also known as active) hub. This type of hub ensures that all the devices on the hub receive the necessary power.

Reconnecting the Drive

Once you have installed the drivers for the CD-Writer Plus you can connect or disconnect the drive at any time. Windows will recognize the device and load the drivers. It is not necessary to restart Windows to reconnect your drive.
When Should I Use CD-R (Recordable or Write-Once) Discs?
Files copied to a CD-R disc are permanently recorded on the disc. The space the files occupy on the disc cannot be used for anything else. Use CD-R discs to:
Share your CDs with users that have standard CD-ROM drives Make audio CDs Permanently save files
When Should I Use CD-RW (ReWritable) Discs?
With CD-RW discs you can write, erase, and rewrite files easily from your software applications or from the Windows Explorer. Since not all CDROM drives can read CD-RW discs, these discs are better suited for use on your own computer. Use CD-RW discs to:
Save work in progress such as presentations and documents Make weekly archives of files on your hard drive Transport files between the office and home if you have a CD-Writer Plus at each location, or have an external CD-Writer Plus to use on your computers
How do I Make CDs That Can be Read on Other Computers?
Use the Easy CD Creator (Data) software and CD-R discs when you want to create CDs you can share with other users, for example if you want to send the CD to your co-workers. Virtually all CD-ROM drives and operating systems (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and DOS) can read CD-R discs made with Easy CD Creator (Data). To start the Easy CD Creator (Data) software insert a blank CD-R disc in the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads: Make a data CD that is the most compatible with other CD-ROM drives.
When is the DirectCD Software Useful?
With DirectCD you can simply drag and drop files onto the CD-Writer Plus icon to make CDs. Use DirectCD when you want to create data CDs (not audio) to use on your own computer. When you save to a disc within a software application or Windows Explorer, Direct CD copies the file directly to the disc. DirectCD allows you to organize CD-R discs when you eject them so they can be read by most CD-ROM drives under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or later. To prepare a disc for use with DirectCD software insert a blank disc in the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads: Make a data CD the easiest way.

How do I Make Audio CDs?

Use Easy CD Creator (Audio) and CD-R discs to create audio CDs. To start the Easy CD Creator (Audio) software insert a blank CD-R disc in the CD-Writer Plus. From the screen that appears select the option that reads: Make a music CD.
Can I Avoid Swapping Audio CDs In and Out of the Drive?
Making an audio CD may involve swapping CDs in and out of drives many times. For example, if you make the CD using your CD-Writer Plus as both the source and destination drive, you will need to swap CDs every time a new track is copied to the CD-Writer Plus drive. To minimize the number of times you swap CDs: 1. Copy the tracks to your hard drive using Easy CD Creator. This is called pre-recording audio tracks to wave files. Approximately 10 MB of space on the hard drive are required for each minute of music. 2. Once all the tracks are on your hard drive, copy them to the CD using Easy CD Creator. The Users Guide provides a step by step description of how to copy the audio tracks to the hard drive and then on to a CD. Click Start on the taskbar, point to Programs, HP CD-Writer Plus, Information, and select Users Guide. Select Making Music CDs and go to the section called Pre-recording Audio Tracks to Wave Files. You can view this information through your web browser.
Can I Use the New 80 Minute Audio CDs?
HP does not currently support the new 80 minute audio CDs even though the HP CD-Writer Plus and the included software are capable of using them. The manufacturing process for creating 80 minute CD-R discs is extremely difficult and the resulting discs do not consistently meet HPs standards for reliability at the time of this printing.
If you need further assistance after using the HP CD-DVD Toolbox and reviewing this chapter, contact HP Customer Care directly by calling the appropriate telephone number from the list beginning on page 15.

Things to Try First

Try the following suggestions if the CD-Writer Plus does not appear under Windows Explorer once you have completed the installation. If the problem persists, see the Troubleshooting section below.
Make sure the computer is plugged in and that each device has power. Turn off the computers power, wait 20 seconds, then turn it on again. Disconnect and then reconnect the CD-Writer Plus power cable. This might fix a faulty connection. Disconnect and then reconnect the USB data cable. Run the HP CD-DVD Toolbox (only available in English) to get troubleshooting help. Click the Start button on your taskbar, select Programs, HP CD-Writer Plus, and click HP CD-DVD Toolbox.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the CD-Writer Plus is receiving power.
Check that the CD-Writer Plus has power by pressing the Eject button on the front of the drive to open and close the CD tray.
If the drive is not receiving power, check that a power supply is plugged into the rear of the drive. Then make sure the power supply is connected to a wall outlet or power strip. Make sure the wall outlet or power strip you are using has power.

Check the USB data cable

Unplug the USB data cable that goes from the CD-Writer Plus to the computer at both ends and reconnect it. Check the USB data cable for any signs of physical damage. Replace the USB cable with the one provided with your drive if you are not already using it. If you have another USB data cable that you know is working, swap cables to make sure you do not have a bad cable. If you are using a USB hub, try connecting the CD-Writer Plus directly to the USB connector on the computer instead of through the hub.
Make sure the USB port is enabled
If the Add New Hardware Wizard did not appear when you connected the CD-Writer Plus to the computer, your USB port may not be enabled. Right click My Computer, choose Properties, and select the Device Manager tab. Look for the Universal serial bus controller in the Device Manager. If the Universal serial bus controller option does not appear, insert the driver diskette in the floppy drive, click Start on the taskbar, select Run, type A:\usbhelp, and click OK. If this program can not enable your USB port you can enable it from your computers BIOS. See your computers manual for instructions or call your computer dealer.
Reinstall the drivers if necessary You may need to reinstall the drivers if for any reason the driver installation was not completed. For example, if the Add New Hardware Wizard did not find the drivers or the Wizard was cancelled.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB data cable from the back of the computer. If the Add New Hardware Wizard appears on the screen, reinstall the drivers. Accept the recommended option that searches for the best
driver, and then select the floppy drive as the location to search for the drivers. Make sure the Drivers diskette provided with the CDWriter Plus is in the floppy drive.

If reconnecting the USB data cable has no effect, click Start on the taskbar, select Settings and then Control Panel. Double-click on Add New Hardware. If the E-USB Bridge is among the devices that Windows finds, select it and click Next. After clicking Finish on the following screen the E-USB Bridge Properties screen will appear. Click on Reinstall Driver. Accept the recommended option that searches for the best driver, and then select the floppy drive as the location to search for the drivers. Make sure the Drivers diskette provided with the CD-Writer Plus is in the floppy drive.
Make sure you are using a self-powered hub
If you are using a USB hub make sure it is of the self-powered type and that it is connected both to a power source and to the computer.
Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements
Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements? (See Minimum System Requirements in the electronic Users Guide or on the box.)

Double-click the CopyDisk folder and then doubleclick Copydisk.exe. Select the Install Assistant option and follow the instructions. Insert the diskette you just made, into your computers floppy drive and run A:\ASSIST. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

English-6

5. When the CD-Writer Plus Install Recommendation screen appears, click Print. Or, if you dont have a printer, copy the information by hand. Youll need this information in the next section. 6. If you are replacing the CD-ROM drive, remove Software Disc 1 from your CD-ROM drive. 7. After getting the Install Recommendation, you must shut down your computer when prompted, and turn off your computer, monitor, and connected devices. Unplug the power cords from power outlets. 8. Remove the cover from your computer.
9. Prepare the drive bay: If you are installing the drive into an empty drive bay, remove the cover plate from a larger half-height drive bay (approx. 6 x 1.75/15cm x 4.5 cm). If you are replacing an existing CD-ROM drive, remove the drive. Take note of where the cables are attached and lay them aside to reconnect to the CD-Writer Plus. You will not need the data cable that came with your CD-Writer Plus. If an audio cable was connected to the drive you just removed, you can attach it to your CD-Writer Plus. 10. If the bay requires special rails or brackets to mount the CD-Writer, locate an extra set or contact your computer manufacturer to purchase necessary hardware. 11. Write the CD-Writer Plus serial number in the space below. The serial number is on the main label on the top of the drive. Serial number: 12. Read the Install Recommendation you printed earlier to learn if the jumper on the CD-Writer Plus should be set as Master or Slave. 13. Find the pairs of pins labeled Master, Slave, and Cable Select on the back of the CD-Writer Plus. Notice that one pair of pins has a small plastic cap or jumper. This jumper can be pulled off using your fingers, tweezers, or needlenose pliers, and placed on a different pair of pins to change the setting.

English-7

14. Set the jumper on the CD-Writer Plus as advised in the Install Recommendation Printout for your computer.
Check the back of the new drive and make sure the jumper is on the center location (Slave).
Dont use Cable Select This is a jumper. You can pull it off and place it on another pair of pins to change the setting.

or Master

Check the back of the new drive and make sure the jumper is on the righthand location (Master).
15. Insert the drive into the selected drive bay. Be careful not to dislodge any cables inside your computer as you do this. If you are replacing an existing CD-ROM, skip to step 19 on page 8. 16. If you are installing in an empty drive bay, look at the Install Recommendation Printout again and find whether the data cable should be connected to the computers primary or secondary IDE controller.

English-8

TIP: (For two devices connected to the data cable) If the Install Recommendation states that your CD-Writer Plus drive will share the data cable with another device (such as a CD-ROM drive), follow the cable already attached to the other device to the circuit board to locate the IDE controller that you need. If you find an extra connector along that cable, simply attach that connector to the CD-Writer Plus drive. 17. Locate the recommended 40-pin IDE controller connector (primary or secondary) on your computers motherboard. IDE connectors are usually found in pairs and may be hidden by some of the computers cables or may be behind a drive. If your computer has an IDE hard drive or CD-ROM drive, you can follow the data cable from the back of one of those drives to find the IDE controller. IDE connectors may be labeled as any of the following: PRI and SEC, IDE-0 and IDE-1, IDE-1 and IDE-2, HD and CD-ROM, or PCIIDE and ISA-IDE. 18. Refer to the Install Recommendation Printout to see if you will have one or two devices connected to the data cable. See page 10 for examples of one- and two-device installations. 19. Make the necessary data cable connections for your system.

English-9

Most data cable connectors are keyed to fit only one way. If your connector is not keyed, make sure the cables colored edge is aligned with both PIN-1 on the CD-Writer Plus drive and PIN-1 on the IDE controller. If the cable is attached incorrectly, your computer may not boot up.
PIN-1 Look for a label identifying PIN-1 next to the IDE connector. The data cables colored edge is aligned with PIN-1 of the IDE connector. This illustration shows a specific computer. Yours may look different. PIN-1 could be on either side of the IDE connector.

One Device
The OPTIONAL data cable that came with the CD-Writer Plus drive is only used if there is no cable already attached to the recommended IDE controller in your computer, or the cable supplied with your computer is not long enough. Use the connectors at the two ends of the cable.

Two Devices

Attach the CD-Writer Plus to whichever connector is not in use (center or end) on the data cable already installed in your computer (DO NOT swap connectors). The OPTIONAL data cable that came with the CD-Writer Plus is only used if there is no spare connector for the CD-Writer Plus on your cable or your cable is not long enough.

22. To listen to music through computer speakers, attach an audio cable with an MPC-2 connector. You do not need an audio cable to record music. The audio cable is used only for listening to music CDs through your computers sound system. When the CD-Writer Plus drive records music or data, it uses the data cable, not the audio cable. If your sound board already has the correct audio cable, plug the connector into the Audio Out opening on the back of the CD-Writer Plus. 23. Secure the drive into the bay, using the screws included with your drive or any M3x0.5x6mm metric screw. (Do not use a screw longer than 6 mm.)

English-12

If your computer uses rails or mounting brackets you may not need screws to secure the rails in the bay.

Use all four screws

24. Replace your computer's cover. 25. Plug your computer, monitor, and other devices into a wall outlet or power strip, and turn ON your computer. 26. Insert Disc 1 into either the CD-ROM drive or the CD-Writer Plus. The CD-Writer Plus software will make sure that it is communicating properly. 27. Software installation will automatically continue. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the software you want.
