4. Precautions for Using Device
4.1. For using the bootable function of the
HDD” in the bootable section of CMOS (ROM-BIOS). Do not use the
bootable function of a PC which does not support “USB-ZIP” or “USB-HDD” in CMOS because it may
possibly cause some troubles in your PC.

4.3. When disconnecting the USB DISK in Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP you must
double click the icon "Unplug or Eject Hardware" which is located at the bottom right corner of
your screen and follow the instructions before removing. If you are using a Macintosh OS, we
suggest that you use the “Eject” or “Put Away” option before unplugging the USB DISK. In
LINUX you should un-mount the USB DISK before unplugging.
4.4. When removing the USB DISK from the USB port, please ensure that the Green light on the
USB DISK is not flashing and that the light is in fact solid blue. This will ensure that your data on
the device is not lost. It is very important that you check the USB DISK light even if the dialog
box on your computer shows that the data transfer is finished.
4.5. Please disconnect the USB DISK from the USB port before turning your computer on/off. It is
also important to ensure your computer has finished booting before connecting the USB DISK.
4.6.
Please ensure that you follow the instructions manual for proper driver installation if your
operating system is Windows 98/SE. It is required that you install the Windows 98/SE drivers,
which are included on the provided CD-ROM (see section:7. Driver Installation for Windows
98/SE).
Note
: If your operating system is Windows ME, Windows 2000, Window s XP, Macintosh Version
