Answer
Simply click the "view" menu and select "Refresh" or
press "F5" on the keyboard.
• If you insert your own Hard drive into the X's drive II, it
will work if it has already been partitionned and
formatted FAT.
• Your 2.5 inches
Hard drive must be 9.5mm
thick-a
12mm won't fit in. You cannot partition a HD via the
xs-drive connected on the USB port. You only can
format the Hard Disk via the USB connection.
• Under MacOS, you can format by the Erase Disk
option in the Finder's Special menu. The X's-Drive II
cannot be formated by the MacOS X's Disk Utility.
• Under Windows, you can format by the Format option
in the drive's menu.
• Under Linux, a partition must be created by
fdisk
, and
then formated by
mkfs.msdos
.
Because Windows 2000 can not format the new Hard
Disk that doesn't have Partition Table, please format the
Hard Disk on other operating system.
• Under MacOS and Windows only ONE volume
spanning all the disk space can be done. Should the
disk be previously partitioned, every partition can be
reformated, but the number or size of the partitions
cannot be changed.
• Under Linux several partitions can be created by
fdisk
.
