Installing the Device Driver
Supplied driver software is required for Windows 98 SE and highly recommended for
Windows Me/2000/XP users. The installation procedure varies according to your
operating system.
Windows XP Installation Procedure
After connecting Giga Vault to the computer, do the procedure below with the provided
CD-ROM to install the device driver.
Note
It is possible to use the unit with the default Windows XP driver but we strongly recommend that you
install the device driver on the CD-ROM supplied with the unit. Failure to do so may cause the unit to
malfunction.
1
Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer.
Note
If you are using an external CD-ROM drive connected to the USB port of your computer and this is
the only available USB port, copy the contents of the CD-ROM to the C:\Gigavault folder on the hard
disk of your computer, remove the CD-ROM from the drive, and then disconnect the CD-ROM drive.
(You must create the C:\Gigavault folder beforehand.)
2
Using the USB cable, connect the unit to your computer.
Your operating system detects the unit and installs the default device driver. Wait
until the system informs you that the installation is complete.
Windows XP opens a selection dialog box at this point. Click [Cancel] to close it.
Note
Connect the unit directly to a USB port of your computer when you install the device driver. Avoid
connecting the unit to USB hubs or with extension cables.
3
Access the CD-ROM with Windows Explorer or other such application,
and then double-click Setup.exe. (If you copied the contents of the CD-
ROM to the C:\Gigavault folder on the hard disk of your computer as
indicated in step 1, double-click Setup.exe found there.)
An installation wizard starts.
