Installation For Windows 2000/XP Users:
Important Notes:
• If you intend to use the DrivePod on multiple operating systems, STOP.
DO NOT continue with the installation procedure described below. Please
first read the instructions in the "Installation for Multiple OS/Cross-
Platform Usage" on page 21. Otherwise, continue with the installation pro-
cedure below.
• Windows 2000 and XP do not require the installation of the USB 2.0
Installation CD. The operating system has the necessary drivers built in.
1. Once your DrivePod has been properly connected and powered "on",
Windows 2000/XP will automatically install the appropriate built-in Microsoft
drivers. It is NOT NECESSARY to install the USB 2.0 Installation CD.
If you are using a USB 1.x connection, your computer will display the message
"HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB Hub". This is ok except
that your DrivePod will run at the slower USB 1.x speed.
2. Double-click on the My Computer/Explorer icon. In the My Computer win-
dow, you should see a new icon and drive letter for the DrivePod. If you are
not sure which icon represents the DrivePod, turn off the drive and see which
one of the icons disappears. Then turn on the drive and wait for the icon to
reappear.
