DataBox V 1000 English

After this installation you can use the new Silvercrest DataBox hard disk in exactly the

same way as any other hard disk on your computer. Silvercrest DataBox fields of

application include:

- Moving or copying files or folders from other drives, CD-ROMs, or other media

- Installing and opening all kinds of program files on the new hard disk

- Saving video clips, games and other data

- Making safety copies of important data from you PC (backup)

Note on Installing Applications

The Silvercrest DataBox lets you install and execute applications just like any other

disk drive. Please note, however, that most Windows-based applications that have

been installed on the Silvercrest DataBox are only operational on the computer on

which the applications were installed. On installation, additional software information is

frequently copied to the partition of the operating system (usually C drive), necessary

for the execution of the application. If you use the Silvercrest DataBox on another

computer, this additional information will be missing. If you connect the Silvercrest

DataBox once again to a computer to which the application had previously been

installed, the application will function perfectly.

Formatting and Partitioning

The Silvercrest DataBox factory default settings are already formatted with the NTFS

file system. It is therefore not necessary to format again if you do not wish to change

the file system or the partitioning.

Note: If you format the Silvercrest DataBox all data saved onto the hard disk will be

deleted. Make backup copies of all data that you wish to use again after the formatting.

Partitioning can be comfortably carried out and processed in Explorer under Windows

Vista/XP/2000. To do so, select the following (example for Windows XP in standard

view):

[Start] > [Control Panel] > [Performance and Maintenance] > [Administrative Tools] >

[Computer Management] > [Disk Management]

Right-click on the Silvercrest DataBox icon and select "Format..." in the context menu

to format the current partition or select "Delete partition..." to delete the current partition

and to create one or more new partitions.

You can find more information on partitions in Help. Click on the question mark in the

command list and write the search word "Partition" in "Help topics".
