Installation and Setup

Hard Drive Installation

You must connect your new FireWire hard drive to your computer
before performing any setup procedures. For best results, be sure to
follow this sequence when connecting your FireWire hard drive:
1. Windows 98 SE only: Insert your Windows 98 SE CD-ROM.
2. Connect the AC power supply (with power cord connected) into
the power socket on the FireWire hard drive, then plug the power
cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Turn on your FireWire hard drive by moving the power switch
upwards to the "On" position.
4. Plug one end of the FireWire cable (included) into any FireWire
port on your computer.
5. Plug the other end of the FireWire cable into either of the Western
Digital FireWire Hard Drive ports (port A or port B).
Windows 98 SE only: You will see a series of three Version Conflict
dialog boxes, each informing you that the file being copied is older
than the file currently on your computer.
Click Yes in each dialog box to keep your existing file (clicking No
will prevent the drivers from loading properly). These dialog boxes
will only display the first time you install your FireWire hard
drive.
