2. Using the Kanguru SonicSTOR 

 

Connecting the drive: 

 
Please note:

 Connecting both USB 2.0 and SATA simultaneously, the SATA 

port will have priority over the USB 2.0 port.  
 

1.  If your computer is not turned on, please do so at this time and wait for 

your operating system to load. 

 
2.  Connect the included AC power supply and USB or eSATA cable to the 

Kanguru SonicSTOR, power the drive on and plug it into any available 
USB or eSATA port on your computer.   

 

3.  Windows 98 Users ONLY: 

Your operating system will ask you to locate 

the drivers for this device. They are located on the mini CD included with 
your drive. To install these driver files, simply direct Windows 98 to that 
folder or select to search your CD-Rom drive for these files. The 
installation wizard should select these driver files automatically and 
complete the installation. A reboot is required for Windows 98 to recognize 
the drive after the installation is complete.

 

 

4.  Check to make sure the drive is recognized by your system.  Under “My 

Computer” you should find a new “

Local Disk

” drive as seen below. 

 

Please Note: 

The assigned drive letter may vary from computer to 

computer. 

5.  Once the computer has detected the drive, you can begin transferring data 

to the drive. 
 

Please Note: 

When the drive is connected via SATA, the drive access 

light will not blink when data is being transferred. 

 

 
 

Removing the tray: 

 

Please note:

 It is not necessary to unplug the drive from the computer to swap 

drive trays.

 

 

 

1.  To remove the tray from the aluminum housing, insert the included key in 

the lock hole to unlock the handle.
