5) On the Windows desktop, open "My Computer." Windows will have assigned a drive letter and icon for your drive.
6) Put a CD in the drive to test the drive. If the CD mounts (if its name is visible), you are ready to install the LaCie CD
Utilities for Windows, enabling you to record onto CD-R/RW media.
Software Installation
1) Insert the LaCie CD Utilities CD into your computer’s internal CD-ROM drive. A prompt should automatically appear,
telling you that, "The Roxio Easy CD Creator CD has been detected, would you like to install the product now?" (If this
prompt does not appear, go into My Computer and double-click on the LaCie CD Utilities CD icon – the prompt will then
appear). Click "Yes."
2) The "Choose Setup Language" screen will appear. Select the appropriate language and click "OK."
3) Next, the "Welcome to InstallShield Wizard for Easy CD Creator Basic" screen appears. Click "Next."
4) The "Setup Type" screen is displayed. You have two options: "Complete" or "Custom." Choose "Complete" unless you
have a specific reason for customizing your setup. Click "Next."
5) The "Ready to Install the Program" screen appears. Click "Install."
6) Finally, the "InstallShield Wizard Completed" screen will appear. Click "Finish." Once the installation has been completed,
you will be prompted to restart your computer. If you would like to begin using your drive immediately, choose "Yes" to
restart your computer.
3.2 Installing Multiple FireWire Peripherals
FireWire allows for the connection of up to 63 devices on the bus, with a maximum of 16 devices on one branch. FireWire
devices can be connected on a chain and do not need a hub. Simply connect the first peripheral to a FireWire port on your
computer. Connect the second peripheral to the other FireWire port on the first drive etc., using the cables provided with
your drives.
3.3 Disconnecting Your LaCie Drive
FireWire external devices feature "plug & play" connection. This means that your drive can be connected and disconnected
while the computer is running. To prevent failures, it is important you follow these steps when disconnecting your
FireWire drive.
Warning! Do not disconnect the FireWire cable when the CD-RW drive is reading or writing to a disc.
Disconnecting while the drive is operating could cause the destruction of data or damage the drive itself.
Make sure that your drive is not reading or writing and that the activity LED is off before disconnecting the
FireWire cable.
Mac Users
You must unmount the drive before disconnecting it or powering it down. Drag the CD-RW drive icon to the trash. The drive
can now be disconnected.
