7.I accidentally took out the TravelDrive™ while the activity light was flashing. Now it doesn't work. Can it be repaired?
Your TravelDrive™ should still function normally; however, there is a strong likelihood that the file you were transferring may have become corrupted. If that is the case, recovery software may be able to retrieve some critical files. In order to get your TravelDrive™ working again, you may have to reformat the drive.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Reformatting permanently erases all the data on the TravelDrive™, and you will lose any unsaved files. See "XI. Reformatting" below.
8.I've used my TravelDrive™ for a long time, but it's not working as well as before. Do these things wear out?
The mechanics of the TravelDrive™ do not wear out, but over time adding and deleting a great many files leaves anomalies in the file structure that may need fixing up in a manner similar to defragging a hard drive. This is true for all flash media. Transfer all files you want to save to your hard drive and then reformat (see below) the TravelDrive™ to restore its filing structure. It will now work as well as when it was new.
9.When do I have to replace the battery?
Never. The TravelDrive™ draws its power from the USB port. It has no batteries and requires no external power supply to function.

XITroubleshooting:.Reformatting:
The file structure of a TravelDrive™ can use refreshing over long periods of use just as hard drives need defragging over time to make file access faster. Reformatting the TravelDrive™ restores its file structure if it has been corrupted by an interruption of data transfer due to too early removal of the device or to a power outage during file transfers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Reformatting permanently erases all the data on the TravelDrive™, and you will lose any files that have not been copied to another hard disk or
