Q: I do not see my drive listed in the My Computer window,
but it does appear in the Device Manager list.
A: Right-click on My Computer. Select Manage in the pop-up
menu. In the Computer Management window and navigate to
Storage -> Disk Management. In the Disk Management window,
you should see a list of available storage devices. Look for the
disk that has a capacity closest to your Fantom Drives unit,
and right-click on the corrolating right-hand box. In the pop-up
menu that appears select "Delete Partition." The description will
change to say "Online" & "Unallocated". Right-click on the box
and select Create New Partition in the pop-up menu. When the
Partition Wizard appears, select "Primary Partition" and click
"Next." Click "Next" in the next dialog, selecting the default value
for the drive. You will then see a drive letter (you can change
this drive letter if you wish); click "Next." You will then be asked
to format the drive.
Q: After I connected the drive to my PC, I got the following
alert message: HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-
SPEED USB Hub." What does this mean?
A: Windows 2000 and XP users will get this alert message if you
plugged the drive into a USB port that only supports USB 1.1.
This is fine, except your drive will operate at USB 1.1 speeds.
