Mac OS

This drive is preformatted to be plug-and-play for Mac OS 9.x and 
above. No formatting or drivers should be needed.

Reformat according to the "Formatting Instructions" PDF file found in 
the "Contents" folder of the Resources CD or online at:

After that, your drive is plug-and-play: no device drivers or 
configuration required. The computer will detect the USB External 
Hard Drive as a new USB device and display messages on the 
bottom-right corner reading "USB Mass Storage Device Detected" 
and "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use."
