Connect the DataPortable 525 to any available USB port. No new drivers are required. The hard disk drive will be found

For PCs:
• Right click on My Computer

• If you have not used the drive before you will have to partition it. Left click on Action, select All Tasks and then left
click on Create Partition.
REMEMBER, partitioning the drive will require the drive to be formatted and
formatting will result in loss of all data on the hard drive.
