Important Operating System Notes:
a) Windows Me and XP offer native-support, mass-storage devices. It
is not necessary to install the Belkin driver in order to use the
Media Reader. However, if you wish to take advantage of the
custom drive icons, the driver must be installed. Due to problems
with Windows XP, custom icon support is not fully functional. In
most cases, it is necessary to insert a media card into the Media
Reader before its custom icon will be displayed. Once the icon is
displayed, it will remain until your system is re-booted, whether
or not the media card is present.
b) Windows 2000 also offers native support for mass-storage devices,
but does not support "multi-lun" devices. If the Belkin driver is
not installed in Windows 2000, only the CompactFlash slot will be
available.
c) Windows 98 SE does not support mass-storage devices; therefore,
the Belkin driver must always be installed.
1. After Windows restarts, connect the Media Reader's USB plug to the
USB port on your PC or USB hub and follow the on-screen instructions
to complete the installation.
2. The Media Reader will be recognized as four individual removable disk
drives. To access the new drive(s), click the "My Computer" icon
found on your Windows desktop display. When the "My Computer"
window opens, you will see a customized disk drive icon representing
each of the four slots. (See Operating System Notes on page 4
regarding custom icon support.)
