PC Operation
Introduction
The installation CD contains the device driver, Utility program and the user’s manual.
The Utility programs feature “Private Folder” and “Playlist” functions. The Private
Folder Manager utility allows you to set the folders in Mobile Video HDD as “Locked” or
“Public”. Unless the correct password was entered, the Locked Folders cannot be seen
during PC or TV operation, therefore your data are safely protected against unauthorized
access. On the other hand, the Playlist Manager utility allows you to arrange your favorite
media files in series, namely the “Playlist” function.
According to your operation system, read the following information:
Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me has already supported the Mobile Video HDD with their
native driver. You can directly connect this unit to PC, and access it like a regular hard
disk drive in “My Computer”. If you want to use the utility program, follow the
instructions in “Software Installation” to install it.
Windows 98SE user must install the driver from the utility CD before using the Mobile
Video HDD via USB 2.0 connection.
The utility Playlist Manager supports Windows Vista/XP/2000; Windows Me/98SE not
supported.
The utility Private Folder Manager supports Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me/98SE.
Mac OS 10.2 or above supports the unit with its native driver. Just connect the unit to a
Mac computer and access it like a regular hard disk drive. But the utilities are for
Windows only.

Some USB 2.0 Host Controllers may require updated device driver files to operate
properly. If you have problems with your USB connection, visit the Windows
Update web site to make sure you have the latest Service Packs and device
drivers installed on your PC before contacting technical support.

Windows Me and Windows 98SE do not support NTFS file system. If this unit is
formatted as a NTFS disk, you won’t be able to see this drive in “My Computer”
under Windows Me and Windows 98SE environments. You will need to delete
the existing NTFS partition and reformat this unit as a FAT32 file system. See
“How to Partition the Hard Disk Drive”.
