3.3.3 Dismounting FireWire Disk Drives (Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and
ME)
Once you have completed working with your disk drive on a Windows XP,
Windows 2000, Windows 98SE or Windows ME computer system, you
must dismount the drive before unplugging it.
To do this, use the following procedure:
1. Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon at the bottom right side of the
Windows task bar as shown below.
2. The computer system prompts you to “remove” the connected
FireWire disk drive. This begins the dismount process.
3. Select the message by clicking on it. The computer dismounts the disk
drive and notify you when it is safe to remove the volume.
3.3.4 Mounting FireWire Disk Drives (Macintosh)
1. On a Macintosh, start your computer and connect your FireWire disk
drive to the computer utilizing a standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire
cable.
Consult your FireWire disk drive documentation for more
information.
2. Ensure the required FireWire disk drive drivers have also been loaded
onto you computer system (consult your FireWire disk drive's
documentation for more information).
Even if your FireWire disk drive was bought for use on a Macintosh, you
MUST first partition and format the drive as a FAT32 volume on the FS-2/
2E for it to work.
