PC/Mac Connection
As is already mentioned, iZak™ automatically operates as an
external USB-2 hard disk of 80GB or 40GB data storage
(depending on the model) when connected to a PC or
Macintosh.. Your system will automatically recognize iZak™
as an external hard disk in which you can copy any file(s) you
want (music, movie, picture, and data).

Cable Important:
• Always use the included USB2 cable to connect your
iZak™ to your computer. Use of other cables may
affect efficient operation.
• Always connect the iZak™ directly to one USB2 port
of your computer, not via hubs.
• Always “Empty Recycle Bin” after deletion of file(s) on
your iZak™ to actually free the HDD space.
iZak™ supports all file formats: FAT32 (Windows 98SE,
Windows Me, Mac) NTFS (Windows 2000, Windows XP), HFS+
(Mac) with up to 480 Mbps transfer rate (in USB-2
connections). Please notice that if your host system does not
have a USB2 interface, but only USB 1.1, then you will receive
under Windows XP, the message in the adjacent figure, issuing
a relevant warning.
iZak™ as an external USB2 hard disk device can be connected
to a variety of Operating Systems supporting the USB interface:
• Windows Me/2000/XP
• Mac OS9, OSX
(All the captures and examples in this section have
been taken from a Windows XP system).
Please notice that you don’t need external
power adaptor because iZak™ is powered by
the USB bus power.
iZak™ is provided to you with preformatted hard
disk (NTFS) and default directory structure as
shown in the adjacent snap-shot:
