More Information
My computer does not boot-up if
the player is connected prior to
turning on the PC.
• In order to improve the performance
of your player and allow a faster
download experience, the storage in
your device has been formatted using
a larger sector size. The BIOS in some
older computers does not support this
larger sector size, which causes it not
to recognize the device when the PC is
booting-up. To correct this, simply
disable the "boot from USB" option in
your computer BIOS or wait until your
computer has completed its boot-up
sequence before connecting your
player.
