CHAPTER 3 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer

Using Drive Mode to work with info on another

computer

On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files between a computer and your handheld’s

internal drive.

If you are at a Windows computer that doesn’t have File Transfer installed—a computer at a hotel

or your friend’s house, for example—use Drive Mode to open, move, or copy files on your

handheld. With Drive Mode, your handheld connects to your computer like an external removable

drive such as a CD drive.

The computer must support external removable drives in order for you to use Drive Mode with the

computer. Most current operating systems such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Mac OS X

support external removable drives.

While you’re using Drive Mode, you cannot use any other feature of your handheld.

other computers.
