3.3.3 Dismounting FireWire Disk Drives (Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and

ME)

Once you have completed working with your disk drive on a Windows XP,

Windows 2000, Windows 98SE or Windows ME computer system, you

must dismount the drive before unplugging it.
To do this, use the following procedure:

1.

Click the

Safely Remove Hardware

icon at the bottom right side of the

Windows task bar as shown below.

2.

The computer system prompts you to “remove” the connected

FireWire disk drive. This begins the dismount process.

3.

Select the message by clicking on it. The computer dismounts the disk

drive and notify you when it is safe to remove the volume.

3.3.4 Mounting FireWire Disk Drives (Macintosh)

1.

On a Macintosh, start your computer and connect your FireWire disk

drive to the computer utilizing a standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire

cable.
Consult your FireWire disk drive documentation for more

information.

2.

Ensure the required FireWire disk drive drivers have also been loaded

onto you computer system (consult your FireWire disk drive's

documentation for more information).

Even if your FireWire disk drive was bought for use on a Macintosh, you

MUST first partition and format the drive as a FAT32 volume on the FS-2/

2E for it to work.
