ICES-003 statement 

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3 (B)

The data on my hard 
drive is corrupt!

• Connecting your hard drive to the enclosure is just like 

connecting a hard drive to the inside of your computer. The 
enclosure itself will not corrupt your data. If data has become 
corrupt, it is likely caused by removing the enclosure while 
data was still being written to the hard drive, from subjecting 
the drive to some kind of physical trauma (even very subtle 
trauma), or due to a design or quality issue with the original 
drive manufacturer.

Caution

: Never remove the enclosure while data is being 

written to the hard drive! Doing so may cause the hard drive to 
become corrupt. Make sure all applications being run off the 
disk and all files in use are no longer in use before removing the 
unit. For PCs, use the Safely Remove Hardware icon to eject the 
drive before disconnecting. For Mac, drag the hard drive to the 
trash before disconnecting. Never operate the disk and 
enclosure in a partially assembled state.

Can I boot from the 
enclosure?

• This enclosure does not support using the enclosed disk drive 

as a boot device.

Why can't I partition or 
format my drive?

• Verify that you are logged into the computer with an account 

that has Administrator Rights. If that does not resolve the 
issue, contact your hard drive manufacturer or PC 
manufacturer for assistance.

My hard drive is 2TB, 
are there any unique 
issues?

• Make sure you have the latest Service Pack installed on 

Windows XP. With the latest Service Pack, Windows XP, 
Windows Vista, and Windows 7 should recognize up to a 2TB 
drive. 

Is RAID or JBOD 
supported?

• No

Why do I keep seeing 
8 GB of hard drive 
space (no partition)?

• This is most likely because this space was either not 

partitioned or initialized when the hard drive was formatted. 
Another reason is that when the hard drive has been removed 
improperly, a ghost drive can be created on the computer 
which confuses the computer into thinking there is still usable 
space. It is best to turn off the enclosure and reboot your 
system.

Can I use the hard drive 
enclosure with a Mac 
and a PC at the same 
time?

• No, the hard drive must be initialized and partitioned for one 

or the other. When formatted for Mac, a PC will not be able to 
see the partition, and vice versa. 

The enclosure will not 
assemble correctly

• Check the physical size of the hard drive. Does it fit correctly 

into the enclosure? Make sure your drive does not have any 
additional rails or mounting hardware connected to it.
