Many Operating Systems immediately indicate that the USB Cable Adapter and drive have been recognized and if the drive is already formatted and partitioned in a compatible file structure the drive will automatically mount itself. That being said, this is not true for all Operating Systems and a good knowledge of how your OS works is needed. In some systems a drive utility is needed to format or partition the mechanism and or mount the drive. New Mechanisms all need to go through the format and partition routine in order to be used. Also note that drives from different computers, i.e. (Macintosh to/from Windows) will not be recognized unless a third party utility is used. Without such a utility the OS may think that the drive has no data on it and ask to be re- formatted. This of course would destroy all the data on it.
