TEAC USB Hard Drive Installation Guide 7
Installing the Driver Software
Installation of the TEAC-provided driver depends on the Windows version in your
IBM-compatible computer. This driver is required only for Windows 98SE. For
Windows Me/2000/XP, the built-in USB driver is loaded automatically.
Installing the Driver Software on Windows Computers
Windows Me/2000/XP
1. Connect the USB hard drive to your computer and turn on the power
switch on the USB hard drive (as explained in “Connecting the USB
Hard Drive to an IBM PC-Compatible or Macintosh System” on
page 5).
Windows Me/2000/XP automatically detects and identifies the new device as
a “USB Mass Storage Device” and installs the appropriate drivers. (There is
no need to load the driver CD-ROM for Windows Me/2000/XP.)

and is ready for use.
