Getting the most from your Maxtor OneTouchTM USB hard drive and Linksys Network Storage Link

Share your OneTouch drive with everyone on your network.

With the Linksys Network Storage Link, you can now use your Maxtor

OneTouch USB hard drive as a network hard drive.

This document shows you how to install everything and get up and running as quickly as possible.

What are the benefits of a network drive?

Share information

Keep your files, photos or MP3s in one central location. Every PC or selected users on your network can access the information.

Save money

No need to keep a PC or server turned on all the time for files to be available–your network hard drive is always accessible.

Protect your valuable data

With the included Retrospect® Express® backup software, you can schedule automated backups to your network hard drive.

Before you install – please read!

Not Hot-SwappableMake sure that the Network Storage Link is turned OFF before you connect or disconnect your Maxtor OneTouch Drive!

Drive Format – When using the OneTouch drive as a network drive, it must be connected to the Network Storage Link ONLY, as it is formatted using a non-Windows file system. The OneTouch drive may NOT be connected directly to a Windows system without reformatting. Warning: Reformatting will erase all of your data.

OneTouch Button – The OneTouch button currently does not work with the Network Storage Link. You may use the included Retrospect Express backup software, however, for automated backup of your files on one computer. (See page 6 for more information.)

USB Only – The Network Storage Link is not compatible with FireWire. You may ONLY use a USB-compatible OneTouch drive.

Windows Only – The Network Storage Link currently supports Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP only.
