Troubleshooting

I can see the MiniStation in Computer (PC) but I cannot 
access it (Windows)

The drive may require formatting. Try using DiskFormatter2.  Diskformatter2 and its manual are available from 
http://d.buffalo.jp/hd-pzfu3/.

I cannot see the MiniStation

Verify that the power LED is on. If it is not, check the cable. The MiniStation should be connected to your computer 
by a USB cable. Check that both ends are correctly plugged in.
Verify that the hard drive inside the MiniStation is spinning. This can be verified by placing your hand on the side of 
the case and feeling for a slight vibration.
Also, after the MiniStation has been powered on for 15 minutes or longer it will begin to get warm. If neither of the 
proceeding tests verified that the hard drive is spinning, then please contact technical support for further assistance.

My backup program cannot save files to the MiniStation

Reformat your MiniStation with NTFS or Mac OS Extended. FAT32 is limited to 4 GB size files.
