you need to run the disc first before you plug the adapter in take it out put disc in go to my computer and find the disc and run it then restart your pc then plug only the adapter in so it finds it ok

you might have to do this as well compliments of scouser

1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your serial adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to Gtromloader and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected.
