- Once NetDisk is connected to your network, it can be accessed from any computer on
your LAN.
- To share NetDisk, the following must occur:
Windows 2000/XP Environment:
- All computers and NetDisk must be on the same LAN.
- NetDisk must be connected via Ethernet or Wireless Access Point.
- To share Read and Write access, all computers on the network using the
Net Disk must have the NetDisk driver version 3.x.x installed.

- NetDisk must be registered onto each computer.
- Write access is assigned to one user at a time and is passed from one
user to another.
NOTE: NetDisk is preformatted in NTFS. In order to use NetDisk in mixed
environments, NetDisk must be formatted in FAT32. If you use the "Disk
Management" utility in Windows XP or 2000 to format your NetDisk , then
your NetDisk will be re-formatted in NTFS. NTFS is not a compatible file sys-
tem format with Mac and Windows 98SE, thus your computers on these OS
will not recognize NetDisk. You can use a third party format utility to choose
the file format your NetDisk is formatted in.

Do not perform disk operations (format, partition and chkdsk) when multiple
PCs are connected.
†
NetDisk can be formatted, partitioned, chkdsk, aggregated or mirrored only
when one PC is connected.

When sharing NetDisk between Windows 2000 and Windows XP, perform
chkdsk.
