G-DRIVE OVERVIEW
Attention Mac OS X Users
G-DRIVE is set up at the factory for use with Mac
OS X systems. If you are running Mac OS X,
G-DRIVE will mount on the OS X desktop right out
of the box. If it becomes necessary to re-format G-DRIVE
for Mac OS X, see section 7.1.
Attention Windows Users
G-DRIVE must be formatted for the Windows
Operating System before use on a PC. Please see
section 7.2 for more information.
Attention Cross Platform Users
G-DRIVE can be used on both MAC and PC
systems by formatting the drive “FAT32.”
There are some limitations when using FAT
32, see section 7.3 for details. Alternatively you can install
software on the Windows machine such as “MacDrive” which
will allow you to mount MAC formatted drives on your PC.
