correctly to the drive.

drive for the first time.
2. Take the cable for the interface you have chosen to use and plug it into the appropriate connector
on the drive.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate connector on your PC.
Always consult your computer manual for assistance.
4. Plug the small power plug into the drive.
5. Plug the mains adapter into the mains socket and, if applicable, use the on/off button to switch on
the drive.
6. Windows will automatically start the 'Add/Found New Hardware Wizard' dialog. Please complete
this dialog to install the necessary driver for your new drive. Refer to the installation CD (or the
location to which you have downloaded the driver files from the Internet if you do not have a CD
drive yet) when asked for the location of any driver files.

Your controller (e.g. USB, FireWire) should be working correctly.
