Installi ng Applications on Your Drive
You may install and run applications from your drive like any other
drive on your system. If you connect the drive to your system using
a USB 1.1 interface, the data transfer rate is approximately 1 MB
per second. Because of this, installing applications on a drive
using the USB 1.1 interface is not recommended. However, you
can store the data for many applications and then access the data
over a USB 1.1 interface.
Most Windows-based and some Macintosh-based
applications installed on your drive will only run on the
computer where the application was installed. If you move
your drive to any other computer, the application may no
longer function. Once the drive is reconnected to the
computer where the application was originally installed, the
application will function properly.
Important Note for Windows 98SE and Me:
The Windows operating system expects applications to
remain at the same drive letter location at all times. When
your drive is removed from the system and plugged back in
at a later time, Windows 98SE and Me operating systems
may assign the drive a different drive letter. This can happen
when another storage device is added to or removed from
your computer while the drive is not connected to your
system. If Windows has assigned a different letter to your
drive than it had previously, any applications installed on the
drive may no longer operate properly.
