Memorex 32023261 USB 2.0 CD-RW Drive (52x/32x/52x)

This is the best cd burner I have bought. The price was right and it arrived to me in just a few days.

The product itself looks nice and trim. I was able to connect power to test insertion and removal of compact disc successfully. However, I was not able to get computer (Duracom IBM running Windows XP) connection figured out. Could have better explanation with diagram (which way is up on plug? which of 2 possible ports do I plug into?)

Just bought this as a chanukkah gift.

Ran it on my XP with sp2, Works great for the price that I paid.

Be sure to hang on to your receipt...chances are high that you'll swiftly return it for a refund. I wasted my entire day off trying to figure this thing out! It comes and goes on my system. One moment it's there and then it goes into hiding. Very complicated and impossible to figure out. I advise everyone to look elsewhere.

I am a 35 year old degreed electrical engineer and just spent my entire weekend attempting to get this drive to work on our windwows XP laptop.

Windows media player could make some contact with the CD_RW to read, but writing is very iffy, and I am sure I have the correct media.

Microsoft does not carry drivers for the Memorex product line on their website. The memorex website has neither the user manuals nor the drivers to download. Their is also no customer support on weekend from Memorex. The software which came with it has an electronic copy of the manual - but it shows pictures of another drive (not the one I purchased) and the only driver is for Windows 98.

3B tech did ship and the product arrived prompty. It looks like a basic lack of ability from Memorex to support this product. Ours will be return shipped tomorrow.
