Windows98, SE
When you plug your device into the USB2.0 controller, the OS should
determine a new device has been plugged in and will bring up the new hardware
wizard window. From here you will need to specify the location of the driver
and then browse to the location where you have the drivers saved.
If the drivers are in a floppy diskette, you will need to point the
wizard to the
floppy drive to locate and install the driver. Once the driver is loaded, there
should now be a new CD_ROM icon under My Computer if an ATAPI device is
installed. If you installed a hard drive that has already been partitioned, then you
will see a new hard drive icon instead. If you installed a hard drive that has not
been partitioned, e.g., a brand new hard drive, you will not see a new icon. In
this case, you must partition and format the drive as described below before you
will be able to see the new hard drive icon and be able to access the drive."
Note: brand new harddrives must be partitioned and formatted first.
Windows Me, 2000 or XP
The external USB2.0 drive is plug and play under these operating systems.
Drivers are built in on the OS. USB mass storage driver from the system files
loads automatically for the device.
NOTE: Install and run your software to support the Optical drives
installed in the External USB2.0 case. Check with the manufacturer for
more info.
(CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CDRW, DVD/CDRW, DVD-/+RW are classified as
ATAPI storage devices)
