FireFly User Guide

To save disk space on your computer’s internal hard drive, keep the aforementioned
types of files on your FireFly. To play back your MP3s and videos, or to show your
photos, connect FireFly to any computer that has FireWire. This means you don’t have
to carry several CDs to an event; all you need to bring is FireFly.

Create a Boot Drive for Macintosh Computers

You can boot a Macintosh computer directly from the FireFly rather than the internal
disk drive. This means you can open your applications and files using any Macintosh
computer. You can always work in a familiar environment wherever you go; all your
settings and preferences are stored on FireFly.

To create the boot drive, copy the System Folder to the FireFly.

To boot your Macintosh computer with FireFly:

1

Connect the FireFly as described on page 13.

2

Start up the Macintosh computer while holding the Option key.

3

Select the FireFly and press OK.

Note The following is not supported for Mac OS X 10.0 -10.1.
