Choosing an appropriate cable connection

requirements:

Provides the fastest transfer rates and is recommended
for DVD video and multimedia games.
USB 1.1
Good transfer rate for photographs, data, music, and
installation CDs.
Important
The USB 1.1 cable must be used if you are performing a
new operating system installation or similar operation that
requires the tablet to start up (boot) directly from the
CD drive.
