Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use my Drive on two computers at the same time?
A: No. If you connect the Drive to two computers at the same
time, you may damage the Drive and the computers.
Q: Do I have to format my AcomData Drive prior to using it?
A: No. All AcomData Drives are formatted at the factory with the
FAT32 file system, making them compatible on Mac and PC right
out of the box. You can re-format the Drive if you wish to use a
file system other than FAT32.
Q: What is the difference between FAT32 and NTFS?
A: FAT32 is an older and more compatible file system but it has
certain limitations, such as file size (maximum 4 GB). NTFS is
more secure and has fewer limitations. The NTFS file system can
only be used on Windows 2000 and XP. If you plan to use your
Drive only on Windows 2000 or XP, consider re-formatting the
Drive using NTFS. If you plan to use the Drive on a Mac OS only,
consider re-formatting the Drive using the Mac OS Extended file
system.
Q; Where are the drivers for XP, 2000 and Me?
A: They are built into the operating system.
