NetDisk User Manual
20. I have clicked on the NetDisk Admin Tool on my desktop and nothing happens.
The icon on the desktop is only used to launch our icon into the system tray, if for some reason it is
not already there. The icon in the system tray is used for Enabling/Disabling, Adding/Removing, and
switching modes for Read/Write on NetDisk.
21. When I try to copy something to my NetDisk, why does the following show up: "Cannot copy
NetDisk Administrator: The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use an-
other disk."?
You probably do not have Read/Write access. Click on the NetDisk Icon in your bottom-right system
tray. Go to your NetDisk and then click on "Enable Read/Write."
22. Why can't I format my whole NetDisk to FAT32?
Windows 2000/XP comes with a limitation of only 32GB partitions that it can create. This is a Win-
dows limitation and the only resolution is to use a 3rd party partitioning software or use a Windows
98SE/ME computer to format the entire drive to FAT32. With our Multi-Write drivers, NTFS is recom-
mended anyways for stability and performance purposes.
Windows 98SE/ME
1. How do I disconnect NetDisk?
We recommend using the Disable option from your NetDisk Administrator Tool if connected via
NDAS (Ethernet). You can also use the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon in your System Tray to stop
the NetDisk before disconnecting it (this applies to either USB or NDAS mode).
2. I've installed NetDisk on my Windows 98SE computer and cannot see NetDisk.
Please check to see if NetDisk drivers are properly loaded. If you are using USB, you may need to
download the NetDisk USB drivers from our Download Center. Right-click on My Computer - Go to
Properties - then click on Device Manager and look for any yellow exclamation or question marks.
Check if NetDisk is formatted to FAT32 as Windows 98SE can only recognize FAT file systems.
If you can, go to Start - Run - and type in "Command" without quotation marks and press the Enter
key. Next, type in "fdisk" without quotation marks.
If it asks you about Enabling large file support, type in Y and press the Enter key.
If there is an option #5, then Enter in that number.
If that option is not there, then your NetDisk is not being recognized.
If it is, then please check to see that your drive is there.
If your NetDisk is still not recognized, make sure that your NetDisk is on and dip switches (if any) are
in the appropriate position. Also, try power-cycling your NetDisk and making sure that the software,
if any, are loaded correctly.
