MAXTOR ONETOUCH III MINI EDITION WINDOWS VISTA INSTALLATION
How to Re-launch OneTouch Status
The Maxtor OneTouch Status will automatically launch upon system
restart. However, you can manually launch it without having to reboot
your PC. To do this, click Start ➔ Programs ➔ Maxtor ➔ OneTouch Status
➔ OneTouch Status icon.
Important Note: For users of the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus
Quick Start Software
Both the EasyManage and the Quick Start software packages utilize the
same status icons. If you have both software packages installed, your
menu will look similar to the following:
Storing Audio
Using your computer as an audio jukebox is a very popular application.
This allows you to store and play thousands of your favorite songs. You can
also create and manage an audio library from your Maxtor OneTouch III
Mini Edition.
Connecting and Disconnecting the OneTouch III Mini Edition
The USB interface allows you to hot swap your Maxtor OneTouch III Mini
Edition; that is, connect and disconnect the drive while the computer and
your drive are turned on.
To Connect the OneTouch III Mini Edition to Your Computer
1. Plug the Power + Data connector into an available USB port on your
system.
2. Plug the Power Only connector into an available USB port on your
system.
3. Connect the Type "B" connector to the OneTouch III Mini Edition.

To Disconnect the OneTouch III Mini Edition from Your Computer
1. Double-click the Windows Unplug or Eject Hardware icon in your
system icon tray. A list of device choices appears.
2. Select your OneTouch III Mini Edition and follow the on-
screen directions to eject the drive. The system will display a
message saying that you can safely remove the drive.
3. Disconnect your OneTouch III Mini Edition from your
computer. Your system may not allow you to disconnect the drive. In
this case, you may need to close all open applications and documents
or shut down your system completely to disconnect the drive safely.
Warning: Removing the OneTouch III Mini Edition from your computer
without disconnecting it properly through the operating system can
result in lost or damaged files.
Naming Your OneTouch III Mini Edition
Your untitled OneTouch III Mini Edition appears in the same way as your
other drives, with a new drive letter assigned by the operating system.
The assigned letter will vary depending upon the number of other drives
connected to your computer. Make a note of this drive letter. Its a good
idea to name your new drive so it's easy to identify later when you use it
for backing up your files.
1. Open the My Computer icon.
2. Right-click your Maxtor OneTouch III Mini Edition icon and select
Properties. The Properties window will open.
3. In the Label section at the top of the window, enter a name.
For example: "Maxtor."
