Depending on your computer's operating system and the interface type you
are using, the following special notes may apply:
Note 1: USB under Windows 98 SE. If you are using Windows 98
SE and you are connecting via USB, you will need some additional
software that you can download from the Verbatim web site. Refer to
the Getting Help section.
Note 2: USB under Windows. If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your
Windows computer, the following cautionary note may appear on your
display: Hi-Speed USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub.
This does not indicate a problem because the External USB Hard Disk
drive is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. Simply close
the message and proceed. However, in this case the External USB Hard
Disk drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
Note 3: USB under Mac OS 9.2.x. Mac OS versions 9.2.x do not support
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed mode. For these Mac OS versions the External USB
Hard Disk drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
Note 4: USB or FireWire under Mac OS X 10.2. Mac OS X version 10.2
will not mount any single FAT32-formatted (MS-DOS) partition greater
than 128GB. To work around this OS limitation, you may partition the
drive into smaller FAT32 partitions, or you may reformat the drive to
HFS+ format.
Storing and Transferring Data
Once your drive is connected to a computer, it can be accessed and used
like any other removable disk. You can drag fi les to your unit's icon to copy
them, navigate to your unit in Open or Save dialog boxes, or delete fi les
stored on your unit. For information on copying, opening, or deleting fi les,
consult your computer's documentation.
