English
Your new untitled drive appears in the same way as your other
drives, with a new drive letter assigned by the operating system.
The assigned letter will vary depending upon the number of other
drives connected to your computer. Make a mental note of this
drive letter.

It's a good idea to name your new drive, so that is easy identify
later when you use it for backing up your files. To name it:
1. Open your My Computer icon (where your other
drives appear.)
2. Right-click your new drive's icon and select Properties.
The Properties window will open.
3. In the Label section at the top of the window, enter a name for
your drive. For example: 'Maxtor.'
If you're running Windows 2000 or XP, Maxtor suggests re-
formatting your drive for best performance and operation.
If you plan to connect this drive to a computer running
Windows 98 or ME, however, you will need to keep the
drive in its original format. More information is provided in
"Formatting Your Drive for Windows" on page 35.
4. The installation is complete and your Maxtor OneTouch drive is
ready to use.
If you did the Full Installation, including Retrospect, we encourage
you to proceed to the next section to setup the Maxtor OneTouch
feature for easy, automated backup of your important files,
anytime, at the touch of a button!
