Q: Is the Drive compatible with Windows NT 4.0?
A: No.
Q: I do not see my Drive listed in the My Computer window,
but it does appear in the Device Manager list.
A: Right-click on My Computer. Select Manage in the pop-up
menu. In the Computer Management window, select Storage,
then select Disk Management. In the Disk Management
window, you should see a list of available storage devices.
Look for the Disk that has a capacity closest to your Fantom
Drives External Hard Drive. Right-click on the right-hand box;
in the pop-up menu select Delete Partition. Once you do this,
it will say “Online" & "Unallocated”. Right-click on the box
and select Create New Partition in the pop-up menu. When
the Partition Wizard appears, select Primary Partition and
click on Next. You will see a default value for the Drive; click
Next. You will then see a drive letter (you can change this
drive letter if you wish); click Next. You will then be asked to
format the Drive.
Q: After I connected the Drive to my PC, I got the following
alert message: HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-
SPEED USB Hub.” What does this mean?
A: Windows 2000 and XP users will get this alert message
if you plugged the Drive into a USB port that only supports
USB 1.1. This is fine, except your Drive will operate USB 1.1
speeds.
