plextor px-708a

[vipper8847]

I have just purchased a new plex 708a and have downloaded
micrstudio suite 4 I am running windows xp on a dell xps gen 2
The problem I am having is Microstudio does not recognize
my plex or the samsung drive. I have installed the programs
and rebooted the system but still nothing.... I have read that
microstudio 2.508 is the only version that supports this drive
but when I downloaded it gave me the latest version (2.517)
can anyone help!!!

I am also running the plex 708a, with 2.517..... and it works.

Have you installed the drivers for the plex, and are you running it on a usb 2.0 usb bus?

Make shure you have all of the windoes updates installed.

Thanks for the reply I have updated windoes xp and the drive is
not a usb 2 but as far as the drivers are concerned maybe you could you help me out on that one did they come with the drive or do I have to go get them somewhere and by the way how do you like the plex.....do you use it for cdgs ....

actually they should have been in windows. try reinstalling microstidio now. it should work. after reinstall reboot computer, and select the drive. Hope this works
