Verbatim External Hard Drive manual

Depending on your computer’s operating system and the interface type you are using, the following special notes may apply:

Note 1: USB under Windows 98 SE. If you are using Windows 98 SE and you are connecting via USB, you will need some additional software that you can download from the Verbatim web site. Refer to the Getting Help section.

Note 2: FireWire under Windows 98 SE. If you are using Windows 98 SE and your computer prompts you to insert the Windows 98 SE Installation CD after connecting your hard drive, this means you need to install additional FireWire (1394) support software from Microsoft. You should disconnect your hard drive, then locate, download, and install the latest FireWire (1394) drivers for Windows 98 SE from the Microsoft website http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Note 3: USB under Windows. If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the following cautionary note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB hub. This does not indicate a problem because the Combo Hard Disk drive is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this case the Combo Hard Disk drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.

Note 4: USB under Mac OS 9.2.x. Mac OS versions 9.2.x do not support USB 2.0 Hi-Speed mode. For these Mac OS versions the Combo Hard Disk drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.

Note 5: USB or FireWire under Mac OS X 10.2. Mac OS X version 10.2 will not mount any single FAT32-formatted(MS-DOS) partition greater than 128GB. To work around this OS limitation, you may partition the drive into smaller FAT32 partitions, or you may reformat the drive to HFS+ format.
