Writing and Rewriting Problems

If the Targus drive is not writing or rewriting data properly, try 
the following:

• Reduce the write/rewrite speed.
• Disable all Advanced Power Management (APM) functions.
• Remove or disable all Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) 
   programs, such as your antivirus program.
• Defragment your hard disk drive.

The Targus drive is not working properly – what should I do?

Your Targus drive may not be getting enough power. To resolve this 
problem:

• Verify that the USB ports you are using provide a minimum of 500  
  mA of power. (Check the documentation that came with the 
  device.)
• Make sure that the AC adapter is fully connected to your 
  computer, hub or port replicator and a live power outlet.
• Use only hubs and port replicators that come with their own AC 
  adapter.
• If using the drive via a hub or port replicator, turn off all high power 
  devices that may be diverting power away from the drive.
