Troubleshooting

Microsoft updates
Make sure you have the latest Microsoft operating
system service packs and other Windows updates
installed on your system before you try to
troubleshoot a drive problem. These service packs
are issued to fix bugs, add drivers, and enhance
the security features of your system. See
http://support.microsoft.com for details about
how to install service packs and Windows updates in
your system. Contact Microsoft Customer Service for
information about obtaining these system
enhancements if you don't have Internet access.
Drive does not appear on my
computer
Try the following solutions in the order listed:
1 Check to see if the drive is on. The power LED on
the front of the drive and the light on the power
adapter should be lit.
2 Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged
into the drive and into a power outlet. If the drive is
plugged into a power strip, try plugging it directly
into the wall outlet.
3 Check that the USB cable is securely and properly
connected to the drive and the USB connector on
the computer.
4 While the computer is turned on, unplug the USB
cable. Wait 10 seconds and then reconnect the USB
cable.
5 See if the computer is recognizing the USB port you
are using by checking in the Device Manager
window. See the documentation that came with your
computer for more information.
I got a message that I have a
high-speed device connected to
a low-speed port (Windows XP)
This is normal. Windows XP displays a message that
you have connected your USB 2.0 drive to a USB 1.1
port. You will not have the high-speed capabilities that
