Recognizing the Hard Drive

Windows XP

USB 2.0

If you are using the USB 2.0 interface to connect the hard drive to your computer, no
setup is required. Simply plug the hard drive into an available USB port and turn the
power on to the SAT3510BU2E.

When you open My Computer the drive should be visible under the heading Devices
with Removable Storage.

eSATA

If you are using the eSATA interface to connect the hard drive to your computer, there
are two setup processes you can follow.

If the hard drive is powered on upon booting up the computer, it will automatically
detect the drive. Otherwise, if you connect and power on the hard drive once the
computer has already been booted up, you will need to open the Device Manager to
scan for it.

The following directions outline the necessary steps to access your hard drive when
the computer has already been booted up:
