Note on Installing Applications
The Targa DataBox IV 320 lets you install and execute applications just like any other
disk drive. Please note, however, that most Windows-based applications that have
been installed on the Targa DataBox IV 320 are only operational on the computer on
which the applications were installed. On installation, additional software information is
frequently copied to the partition of the operating system (usually C drive), necessary
for the execution of the application. If you use the Targa DataBox IV 320 on another
computer, this additional information will be missing. If you connect the Targa DataBox
IV 320 once again to a computer to which the application had previously been installed,
the application will function perfectly.

The Targa DataBox IV 320 factory default settings are already formatted with the NTFS

the file system or the partitioning.

If you format the Targa DataBox IV 320, all data saved onto the hard disk will be
deleted. Make backup copies of all data that you wish to use again after the formatting.

Vista/XP/2000. To do so, select the following (example for Windows XP in standard
view):
