Option 1: Format the drive in Windows 98/ME
Follow the instructions in “Connecting the DrivePod to Your Computer” on page
11 and “Installation For Windows 98/ME Users” on page 12. When you then
connect the drive to a computer running Windows 2000/XP or Mac OS
9/10, it should mount automatically.
Option 2: Format the drive in Mac OS 9
1. Follow the instructions in “Connecting the DrivePod to Your Computer” on
page 11. Once your DrivePod has been properly connected and powered “on”,
you may or may not see an alert display with the message “This disk is
unreadable by this Computer. Do you want to initialize this disk?”
If you DO receive this alert message
, proceed to step 2.
If you DO NOT receive this alert message
, the drive should appear on your
Mac’s Desktop. Single-click on the drive icon to highlight it. Go to the
Special
pull-down menu and select
Erase
. Proceed to step 2.
2. In the
Format
pop-up menu, select "DOS…". Click
Initialize
. You should then
get the alert message “Initializing will erase all information on this disk”.
3. Click
Continue
. When initializing is complete, you should see the drive
mounted on your Desktop. When you then connect the drive to a computer
running Windows 2000/XP or Mac OS 10, it should mount automatically.
Installation for use on
Windows 98/ME and Mac OS 9/10
1. Install the DrivePod on a computer running Windows 98/ME, according to
the instructions in “Installation For Windows 98/ME Users” on page 12.
2. Disconnect the drive according to the instructions in “How to Safely
Dismount and Turn Off the DrivePod” on page 24.
3. Connect the drive to the computer running Mac OS 9 or OS 10, following
the proper connection procedure described on page 11.
4. If you connected the drive with the computer turned off, turn on the com-
puter. When your computer is completely booted up, turn on the drive, and
wait for it to mount to the Desktop. Your DrivePod is now ready to use.
Installation for use on
Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS 9/10
Important Note:
In order to use the DrivePod on both Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS
9/10, you have two options: Option 1 is to format the drive on Windows
98/ME. Option 2 is to format the drive on Mac OS 9 using the DOS for-
mat. Formatting the drive in either Windows 2000/XP or Mac OS 10 will
not allow cross-platform usage. This is due to a technical issue with Mac
OS 10, that still exists as of this writing, as well as inherent incompatibili-
ties between Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS 9/10.
