Using Your Drive
Disconnecting the Drive
CAUTION! To prevent data loss, do not disconnect the drive during data transfer (activity light flashing).
PC Users: Use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows taskbar before disconnecting.
Mac Users: Drag the disk icon to the Trash (Eject) icon on the Mac Desktop.
Backing Up with Your Drive
Iomega recommends periodic system backups and more frequent data backups to ensure that your critical data is always
protected. The frequency of your backup should depend on the importance of your data. To protect your data, you can
simply drag and drop copies of your critical files onto the drive, or you can use backup software to schedule regular
backups.
CAUTION! Any data storage device can fail. Always keep at least two copies on different disks for all critical data files.
Troubleshooting
Drive does not appear in My Computer or Windows Explorer or on the Mac Desktop
• Try rebooting your computer.
• Check all connections.
• Make sure the drive is receiving power (check if the status light is on). Make sure the power switch is on.
• Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with your drive.
• Connect the data cable directly to the port on the computer or on the USB card. Do not plug the drive’s data cable into
a hub or keyboard.
PC Users:
• If you are using a USB 2.0 host adapter, make sure that the correct drivers for the adapter have been installed and the
operating system recognizes it.
• Check your BIOS to ensure USB is enabled. Please refer to your computer’s user’s guide or manual for instructions.
Mac Users:
• Make sure the drive is formatted correctly. See instructions on page 4.
• Open Finder Preferences and make sure the box for External Disks (or Hard Disks) is checked.
If the drive is still not assigned a drive letter, please visit the support area on www.iomega.com.
PC will not start up
If your PC will not start up when the drive is connected, the BIOS on the computer probably has a conflict with large capacity
removable drives. To work around this problem, power off the drive when starting the computer. Power on the drive after
the computer finishes starting up.
