Windows does not react and the ED8DVDRW is not recognized.
1. Make sure the ED8DVDRW is connected properly to a power outlet.
2. Make sure the USB connectors are switched on (also in the PC Bios, consult your PC
manual).
3. Check if all drivers are installed (run windows update, check your PC manual and download
if required drivers for the PC from the manufacturer's website).
Question 5: Burning or reading takes far too long. How does this come?
1. You have connected the ED8DVDRW to a low speed USB connector, which has a very

drivers from the manufacturer's website.
