Windows ME / 2000 / XP
None of the Kanguru QS2 hard drives require any driver files for Win ME,
Win2000, or Win XP. These operating systems include a USB Mass Storage
driver, which will support all Kanguru QS2 hard drives.
Simply plug in the Kanguru QS2 into the USB 2.0 port and Windows will
automatically detect the new hardware and install the appropriate driver.
When the installation has completed successfully, you will find a “Removable
Disk” drive icon showing in the “My Computer” screen.
Macintosh 8.6 and later
If you are using Mac OS 8.6, you must install Mass Storage Support 1.3.5. This
file is included in the Kanguru drivers & manuals CD, but may also be
downloaded from the Apple Software Updates website at
http://www.apple.com/support
.
You do not need to install any USB drivers if you are using Mac OS 9.0 or later.
Notice:
The Kanguru hard drive icon may take up to 10 minutes to initially
appear on your desktop. If you are solely using your drive with Macs, please
format your drive as a Mac Hard Drive to avoid this delay.
Firewire:
There are no drivers needed for the Firewire Kanguru QS2 drives in any of the
operating systems. The drives are compatible in Win 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and
Vista, as well as Mac 8.6 and above.
Notice:
The Removable Drive icon will only appear on your desktop when the
QS2 is connected to the computer and powered on via the external power
supply. The Kanguru Hard Drive icon may take up to 10 minutes to initially
appear on your desktop. If you are solely using your drive with Macs, please
format your drive as a Mac Hard Drive to avoid this delay.
If you continue to experience issues, please restart your computer.
If you are still having trouble please make sure your Mac OS have the following
extensions:
•

•
Firewire Enabler
