3. Uncheck all of the checked boxes, and then
check the box Specify a location. Type in the
drive letter of your CD player (usually D: or E:)
followed by \Win98SE_Drivers. Click on Next
and Windows will then load the correct drivers. 4. Windows will now copy from the CD
to your computer’s hard drive, all the
files it needs to make the USB connection
operational. Click on Next to tell
Windows to install the driver.
5. Windows will indicate when it has
finished copying the drivers. Click on
Finish. Do not unplug the Gmini from the
computer yet.
Once finished, you
should restart your
computer. Upon
restart, it will automatically recognize the
connected device (the Gmini). It will be
seen as another hard drive (called
JUKEBOX) in Windows
® Explorer.
6.2 Using the Gmini as an external drive
Getting your files from your computer to the Gmini is as easy as copy and paste. This is because
the Gmini acts like a regular hard drive when connected to your computer. Simply connect your
Gmini to your computer as explained previously and run Windows® Explorer (or use the
Macintosh Finder™). Now, go to your computer’s hard drive, and copy (Right mouse click, then
select Copy) an mp3 file or a folder full of mp3 files. Next, open up the hard drive known as
Jukebox E: on the PC or Jukebox on Macintosh®, open the folder you want to copy the files to,
and then right-click the mouse and select Paste. If you have two windows open on the desktop,
one being the source (your computer’s hard drive) and the other your destination (the Gmini hard
drive), you can simply drag and drop files or folders from your computer to your Gmini.
