7. 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 QuickSilver 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 QuickSilver. 
 

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 QuickSilver 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.
