CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
Using Drive Mode to work with info on another
computer
On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files between a computer and your handheld’s
internal drive.
If you are at a Windows computer that doesn’t have File Transfer installed—a computer at a hotel
or your friend’s house, for example—use Drive Mode to open, move, or copy files on your
handheld. With Drive Mode, your handheld connects to your computer like an external USB
removable drive.
The computer must support standard USB removable drives in order for you to use Drive Mode
with the computer. Most current operating systems such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Mac OS X support USB removable drives.
While you’re using Drive Mode, you cannot use any other feature of your handheld,
including using File Transfer or synchronizing. You can, however, continue to receive alerts such
as notifications of appointments or new email messages. If you select an alert or attempt to use
your handheld in some other way such as pressing a quick button, a message appears asking if
you want to continue using Drive Mode or disconnect from Drive Mode to use your handheld.
Tip
When you use File
Transfer or Drive Mode,
remember to bring your
USB sync cable and AC
charger with you, so you
can connect to other
computers.
