MCE OptiBay Hard Drive for MacBook and MacBook Pro
5
Congratulations! You have completed the installation of the
OptiBay hard drive.
Once you restart your system, the OptiBay hard drive should
mount onto the system’s desktop along with the standard internal
hard drive. You can now use the OptiBay hard drive just as you
use the system’s standard internal hard drive. Now you’ll have
room for all the files you need to have with you while you’re on the
go... disk intensive digital video, that seemingly endless library of
music files and as many hi-res photos as you can shoot!
Two bootable hard drives inside your system provide a freedom
and flexibility never before experienced in a MacBook or MacBook
Pro. You can use one drive as a scratch disk and the other as
your system/applications disk, set up RAID configurations, orga
-
nize one as a Mac volume and the other as a PC volume, and
more.
If the OptiBay drive does not mount on the system’s desktop, you
may use the Apple Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Util-
ity) to format (erase) the drive. The drive will automatically mount
onto the desktop when Disk Utility has finished reformatting the
drive and you may use it just as you use the system’s standard
internal hard drive.
Note: If you will be configuring the drive as a software
RAID using Disk Utility, you must boot the system from a
drive that will not be included as part of the RAID, such as
a Mac OS installation disc or an external hard drive, and
run Disk Utility from the boot volume. Please refer to Disk
Utility help for further instructions on RAID setup.
Note:
In order to view DVD video using an OptiBay-con-
figured system and an external DVD drive, one must use a
third-party media player (for example, VLC media player)
since Apple disables their DVD Player utility when an inter-
nal optical drive is not recognized by the system.
