Important Usage Notes
The MCE Xcarét Pro Expansion Bay Drive is designed to withstand the normal, reasonable handling involved with mobile use. It is not designed to handle abrupt shock such as that experienced in dropping, pounding, banging or otherwise smashing the Xcarét Pro Drive. Exercise care when handling the Xcarét Pro drive and it will provide you with reliable and extended storage capabilities. To avoid possible damage to the CD tray or the drive, keep the tray closed when you are not using it. Also, be sure to always store the Xcarét Pro Drive in its handy protective case during transport when it is not in the Power- Book, such as when it’s inside a computer carrying case.
Troubleshooting
I can't boot from the combo drive.
•Verify that the CD in the combo drive is bootable
•Make sure it is selected in the Startup Disk control panel.
•Make sure you hold down the "C" key while selecting restart and continue holding it down until the PowerBook begins booting from the CD.
My hard drive has failed. Can I still boot from the combo drive?
Yes. Make sure that you have a bootable CD in your combo drive. To force your PowerBook to look for the boot volume on a CD in the Xcarét Pro, simultaneously press the keyboard keys Command, Option, Shift and Delete at startup.
Why won't my music CD play from the combo drive using the CD Control Strip or the AppleCD Audio Player?
In order to use the CD Control Strip or the AppleCD Audio Player to listen to a music CD using the Xcarét Pro Drive, you must startup your PowerBook with the Apple CD/DVD extension enabled. Upon startup, this driver loads for the Xcarét Pro drive and enables it to work with the CD Control Strip and the AppleCD Audio Player application.
