Note:  After changing drive mode, it is necessary to utilize the Windows Control Panel/Administrative Tools/

Computer Management/Disk Management to format the drives in their new configuration before they will 

be usable.

The Glyph Manager menu options are as follows:

“File” contains the method to close the program.

“Tools” contains Options with four settings involving the starting and stopping of Glyph Manager.

“Help” contains About Glyph Manager information as well as help files.

Glyph Manager also tells you the Windows policy settings for your GT 062E.  If the line reads “quick removal 

– BAD”, then you may experience slow write speeds to the Glyph drive. This setting only applies when us-

ing FireWire 800. The default Windows settings for FireWire-connected drives can reduce your Glyph drive 

performance by as much as 90%. This problem is easily corrected, just follow the instructions in the Glyph 

document 

630012_WinXP_Vista_write_performance.pdf. 

This document is available on the support pages 

of our website and also on the Glyph Manager CD.
