Please consult your motherboard manual on how to change the boot order for
your computer.
Add-on Serial ATA Controller Card:
If your SATA controller is an add-on controller card, you may try to choose the
SCSI device as the first boot device. If your system does not have this option
available, your BIOS may not allow the SATA controller to be designated as a
boot device at the BIOS level. In such cases, you may be able to boot the QS2 if
there is no bootable EIDE drive installed in the system.
Installing Windows 2000/XP onto the Kanguru QS2:
Insert the Windows 2000/XP CD into your CD-ROM drive and have your
computer boot from the CD. When the Windows installation screen appears,
press F6 to have setup install Third Party Mass Storage controllers. You will be
prompted to install the drivers that were supplied by your Serial ATA controller
manufacturer. After installing the drivers, Windows setup should detect the drive
and allow Windows to be installed. Follow the instructions onscreen to finish the
installation for Windows.
Partitioning and Formatting
Partitioning
Partitioning allows you to take one large drive and make it into multiple smaller
drives. Partitioning requires formatting the drive and will erase all data if any
exists on the drive.

submenu on the left side of
the window. The right side of the window will update, showing you a list of
all the drives connected to your system.
3. Locate the Kanguru QS2 in the bottom half of the Window. In order to
partition the drive you will have to delete the current partition by right
clicking on the status bar (see below) to the right of the disk and choosing
Delete partition
. Next to create a new partition, right click on the status
bar and choose
