  3. Click on the START button, then SETTINGs and open the CONTROL PANEL.
  4. Click on the ADD NEW HARDWARE icon.
  5. Click NEXT and NEXT again, the screen will say WINDOWS WILL NOW SEARCH FOR PNP DEVICES, DO YOU WANT WINDOWS TO SEARCH FOR YOUR NEW HARDWARE.
  6. Choose NO, I WANT TO SELECT THE HARDWARE FROM A LIST.
  7. Click NEXT.

  12. Shut down the system. Reboot the system with the CardBus inserted inside the PC CARD slot. Make sure the DVD drive is connected to the other end of the CardBUS cable and the Drive is powered on.
  13. The initialization of the DVD drive may take up to 40 seconds. During this time, mouse moving may be sluggish. After completing the initialization, a new CD ROM drive icon should appear in the My Computer. The CD-ROM drive should now be ready for use.
