PC Operating Instructions
Note: In order to make sure that Windows finishes writing all the data that is pending to the drive, be sure
to follow safe removal procedures to avoid losing data or crashing Windows:
1. First left click on the
icon, then select the device that you want to stop. After a while, a message
will pop out that the device is removed successfully. If the computer fails to respond or give the
message “It is not safe to remove the device now”, shut down the computer before removing the
device.
Windows 98SE: Win98SE driver does not provide safe removal icon. Just unplug the device when the
system is not it the middle of transferring data, the LED in the back is not flashing or on. Unplugging the
device while the system is writing to might cause loss of data or damage to the drive.
Your drive’s reported capacity in Windows will always be less than the capacity mentioned on the
package. The accepted drive industry standard reporting capacity uses 1000 bytes per 1K, i.e. 10GB =
10,000,000,000 bytes. However, Windows uses 1024 bytes per 1K, i.e. 10,000,000,000 bytes = 9.5GB.
So Windows will always report the capacity in GB to be less than the drive rated capacity is used up for
Windows overhead.
There is a write protect switch at the back of the device. Slide the switch if you need to protect your data
from being overwritten.
