3. During this period, the NMT can still function as a basic DMA, all NMT applications will be
stopped at this point, however.
4. Note that as the HDD on the NMT is formatted as a EXT3 partition by default, you will need
a special driver to support EXT3 on Windows PCs. Linux PCs will be able to support it
without additional drivers. A suggested driver is EXT2FSD.
5. After completing your file operation on the USB HDD from your Windows PC, it is advised to
"Safely Remove Hardware" by clicking on the USB icon in the Windows taskbar before
unplugging the USB connection. Otherwise, a power cycle is required to get the internal
HDD back into normal operation.

Power + USB DVDROM eject - This will trigger a software reset of the unit.
Power + Suspend - This will bring the unit to a low power mode suspend mode,
you can still get out of this mode without lengthy rebooting
of the unit.
Some models may have a Reset button to initiate a hardware reset.
