2.  Pull the handle towards you to remove the tray. 

 
 
 

Disconnecting the Drive: 

DO NOT remove the drive during data transfer. If the LED is flashing, then the 
drive is still transferring data. 

Windows ME/2000/XP users:

 Click on the green 

Remove Hardware

 icon on 

the right side of the taskbar and select the Kanguru SonicSTOR to safely remove 
the drive. 

 

NOTE: 

If you do not properly remove the drive from your system, then you may 

have to reboot your computer in order for the drive to be recognized again. 

Windows 98SE users:

 Windows 98SE does not have a safe hardware removal 

utility, so you can simply unplug the drive from the USB port to remove it from the 
operating system. 

 

Troubleshooting: 

 

1.  My computer is not detecting the drive, what should I do? 

First, check to make sure that drive is powered on; the connections are 
tight on both the drive and the computer. Try rebooting the computer and 
trying it on a different computer if one is available. If you are still having 
problems, please contact our Technical Support department at 508-376-
4245 x2. 
 

2.  Is it safe to remove the Kanguru SonicSTOR when data is being 

transferred to it?  

No, removing the drive while a data transfer is taking place may result in 
loss of data or damage to the Kanguru SonicSTOR. 
 

3.  When transferring files that are larger than 4GB I get an error saying 

the drive is full but I have enough space available, what should I do? 

The Kanguru SonicSTOR is preformatted to FAT32, which has a file size 
limitation of 4GB. In order to copy files larger than 4GB to the drive you 
will have to reformat the drive to NTFS.
