and all partitions will be available through “My Computer” or through Windows Explorer.
Using Serial ATA with Windows 2000/XP:
Connect your HDCS04 to the power outlet then connect it to your computer by using the S-
ATA cable. The drive and all partitions will be accessible through “My Computer” or through
Windows Explorer.
4.2 Connecting and disconnecting a USB device
