1. Make sure that your computer is switched on and has finished starting up.
2. Log in, if that is what you normally do.
3. Attach the Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive to your computer by connecting one
end of the USB cable to the drive and the other end to a USB port on your computer.
A USB port usually looks like this: and frequently has a symbol
beside it. USB ports are usually found at the front of a desktop computer, often in
pairs. On a laptop computer they may be at the back, front or side.
Please try to connect to a USB port on the computer itself -- using a USB hub may not
provide enough power.
When you connect the C2N Home Backup to your computer, some messages appear
on the screen telling you that your computer has found new hardware. The
messages may mention Clickfree, Disk drive, and/or CD-ROM drive. You don’t
need to do anything about these messages. Most likely you will not see these
messages when you attach
Clickfree the next time.
4. Wait for the Clickfree screen to appear. You may have to wait up to a full minute for
your computer to recognize the Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive.
5. If your C2N Home Backup Drive is password protected, you are prompted to enter
the password to access the drive for backup or restore.
