Verify that the Drive Mounts. Before storing data on the SoloPRO, the
drive must be “mounted” to the computers operating system.
This means that the computers operating system has recognized at
least one readable partition on the drive and established a
communication link with it.
For Windows PC, once the SoloPRO is powered on the operating system
should mount the drive in a few moments. A new drive icon/letter will
appear in My Computer/Windows Explorer. You are now ready to use
the Solo.
For Mac, once the SoloPRO is powered on the operating system should
mount the drive in a few moments. A new drive icon will appear on the
Desktop and in the Finder. The SoloPRO should be reformatted for the
Mac OS (See page 21 - Formatting the SoloPRO for Mac OS)
