WARNING! Formatting the disk will erase all of the data on your StoreJet® 18. You must have Administrator Rights to format in Windows 2000, XP, or Vista.

Windows® 2000/XP

1.Download the StoreJet® Format Utility from Transcend’s online Download Center at http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/DLCenter/index.asp (the software can be located by selecting “Storage Devices -> StoreJet® Drives -> any StoreJet® product -> any StoreJet® model)
