CONNECTING YOUR DRIVE

2.For Windows XP OS users, your drive folder will appear in a separate window. If this does not happen or if you are not prompted to select a function, follow step 4.

3.If your drive does not appear, double-click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop and locate the “Removable Disk” icon. Double-click on the “Removable Disk” icon to access your TravelDrive.

4.You can now save, copy, or delete files to the TravelDrive just as you would to a hard drive or a floppy disk. The LED Power and Activity Monitor will flash quickly when data are being transferred to or from your drive.

REMOVING YOUR DRIVE

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not remove the TravelDrive while the LED is flashing! Interrupting the data

flow while the LED is flashing may corrupt existing data that are being transferred as well as possibly other data stored on the drive. You may also lose access to your drive and your ability to retrieve any files stored on the TravelDrive. Once the LED returns to an non-blinking state, the data transfer operation is complete; and it is safe to remove your drive.

For Windows® Me/2000/XP:

1. Double-click on the green “Unplug or Eject Hardware” arrow in the task bar at the edge of the screen to bring

up a list of active hardware (figure 8).

TravelDrive. If a notice appears that the device cannot be stopped, close any software that had been using the device to open or save files and repeat the process.

3.FOR Windows® 98SE users merely have to unplug the TravelDrive from the USB port.

NOTE: Unplugging the device without stopping it may cause your computer to become unstable and may cause data corruption on your TravelDrive.
