The drive supports DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, CD-DA, Video CD, and Photo CD. For best performance, use recommended media brands.

Why is my drive not detected when connected?

First, ensure the USB cable is fully inserted and the drive's LED is on. If not, try a different USB port. Some systems may not provide enough USB power; if so, connect both USB connectors of the Y-cable to two ports.

How do I safely remove the drive from Windows?

Can I use the drive with a USB 1.1 port?
