Setting Up Bootable Backup with the

OneTouch Button

The following steps will provide you with a complete bootable

backup of your Macintosh computer.

Bootable backup works with FireWire only.

When finished, you will not only have a backup of your entire

computer, but you also be able to start up your computer from your

Maxtor OneTouch II drive.

Before you begin, make sure the Maxtor Install CD is NOT in

your CD-ROM drive.

The bootable backup option requires either using the entire

OneTouch II drive for the backup copy or creating a

dedicated disk partition for the backup copy. If you wish to

store any files on the OneTouch II drive that are not included

on the system drive you plan to copy, they must be stored

in another partition on the OneTouch II drive.
