FORMATTING THE HARD DRIVE
The X3 has a built in Hard Drive format feature that formats the internal hard drive with one main NTFS
partition. A pre formatted NTFS or HFS+ Hard Drive can be used.
To Format the internal Hard Drive select Setup menu and then HDD Format. The Hard Drive format function
can be protected by the built in “Pin Code Lock” function. To enable Hard Drive Format protection you must
enable “Pin Protection” option in the Setup menu.
WARNING: FORMATTING THE HARD DRIVE WILL ERASE ALL DATA
VIRGIN HARD DRIVES SHOULD BE FORMATTED TWICE BEFORE USE

USB CONNECTION TO PC
You can transfer files to and from the X3 via USB2.0 or fast USB3.0 transfer. Use the included Blue USB3.0
cable to connect the X3 to your PC. After you have connected the USB cable press the on/off button on the
X3 and the LED’s on the navigation buttons will turn “off’. The Computer will automatically install the correct
drivers and then you will be able to navigate the X3 like any normal external USB drive. Note: Some
Computers may take up to a few minutes to install the correct USB drivers. If you cannot connect to the X3
than try another USB Port on your computer. The PC will detect the X3 and it will display a connection
Dialogue Screen.
Windows Checkdisk
When you connect any USB Drive to a Windows PC it will prompt you to do a file system check ‘checkdisk’
and you should accept this as this as it will attempt to fix any file systems errors on the Hard Drive.
EXTERNAL USB DEVICE DRIVER NOT REQUIRED
IMPORTANT:
FOR USB3.0 - USE THE SUPPLIED BLUE USB3.0 CABLE.
FOR USB2.0 - USE THE SUPPLIED BLUE CABLE OR ANY USB2.0 BLACK CABLE.
WINDOWS 8
Windows 8 by default will not display the Mede8er in the Safely Remove panel so if you remove the USB
cable without ejecting the Mede8er you can get missing files when viewing the drive on the Mede8er.
Solution is to use USB DISK EJECTOR Utility to release the Mede8er before disconnection.
