Formatting
Notice:
Formatting the drive will erase all data contained on the drive
1. To format the QS2, plug the drive into your computer, then open
My
Computer
and right click on the drive letter associated with the QS2 and
choose the
Format
option
2. Choose the file system that you would like to format the drive in.
3. Enter a
Volume Label
in the text box (optional).
4. Check the
Quick Format
box to perform a quick format. You can leave it
unchecked to have it perform a full format (Full Format will take longer to
complete).

you can then resume accessing and coping data to and from the drive.
Notice:
When formatting with FAT32 on Windows 2000 Win XP or Windows
Vista there is a 32GB hard drive size limitation. In order to format a drive larger
than 32GB, you would need to partition it or use a Windows 98 system to format
it.
Usage Notes
Once the driver files have been loaded simply plug in the USB2.0 or eSATA
(Q2S & Q2T models only) cable into the back of the drive and then into your
system. Turn on the power to your drive and you will see a new Removable Drive
icon in My Computer.
