Formatting the Hard Drive︱

WARNING! Formatting the disk will erase all of the data on your StoreJet 25.

You must have Administrator Rights to format in Windows.

1. Download the StoreJet Format Utility from Transcend’s online Download Center at

http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/DLCenter/index.asp (the software can be located

by selecting “Storage Devices -> StoreJet Drives -> any StoreJet product -> any StoreJet

model)

2. When the download is complete, extract the downloaded ZIP file to your computer’s hard

drive (not the StoreJet 25) and run the StoreJetFormatter.exe application.

3. Plug the StoreJet 25 into an available USB port on a Windows® 2000/XP computer.

4. Unplug all other USB storage devices from your computer. This is to prevent

accidental format of a different USB drive.

6. The program will automatically detect the StoreJet 25 drive.
