Troubleshooting 

 
V: Can I use the FAT32 file system? 
A: When using Windows 98SE/ME this is recommended but please note that the maximum   
     size of a file is 2GB. 
 
V: Can I make partitions using the “FNET32 Format” tool? 
A: No, we recommend using the Windows format feature. (see page 11) 
 
V: Is my HDCS04 hot-pluggable? / Can I connect my HDCS04 to the computer when its  
     powered on? 
A: Yes, if you use Windows 2000 or XP. If you connect the HDCS04 through Serial-ATA  
     your PCI card also has to support this.  
 
V: Can I use this product when my computer is running Windows 95/NT? 
A: Unfortunately not, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP or better are required. 
 
V: I can not install the backup software. 
A: Confirm that CD-Key you entered is the same as indicated on the CD-Rom. 
 
V: Windows 98SE does not show the “Remove hardware safely” icon. 
A: Windows 98SE might have the software needed for this installed. You can install this  
     software separately by running the included CD-Rom then selecting your language and  
     finally clicking on “install Win98 drivers”. 
 
V: My hard disc does not appear in “Disc Management”. 
A: Verify that the USB ports on your computer are functioning properly and that the hard disc    
      is connected properly to the enclosure.
