User manual

PC Operation

You can use a PC to access the internal hard disk and card reader slots of the PHOTO HARDDISK, just like

they are USB 2.0 external HD and card reader. For Windows 98SE users, a device driver needs to be

installed before connecting the PHOTO HARDDISK. The installation CD contains the device driver, utility

program and the electronic format of this manual. The installation CD will automatically install the

necessary components based on the operating system of your computer.

The utility program allows you to change the startup screen and the 2nd menu language. However, only

Windows XP and Windows 2000 (SP3 and above) are supported. The installation CD will install the

utility program if your operating system supports the utility program.

Software Installation

Note: If you are running Windows 98SE, please install the device driver before connecting PHOTO

HARDDISK to computer.

Windows XP and Windows 2000 SP3 or above

 Windows 2000 SP2 or under must be upgraded to SP3 or above before using PHOTO HARDDISK.

 XP and W2K (SP3 and above) already support PHOTO HARDDISK with their native driver; the

installation software will, therefore, only install the Utility program. If you do not wish to install

the utility program, you can connect PHOTO HARDDISK directly to PC and manage it like a regular

disk drive under “My Computer”.

Windows Me

 The operating system already contains the driver, and it doesn’t support the utility, therefore, it is

not required to use the CD to install software. However, you may read the user manual in CD.

Windows 98SE

 Windows 98SE user must install the driver in the installation CD before using PHOTO HARDDISK.

 Windows 98SE does not support the utility program. Therefore, only the driver will be installed by

the installation CD.

Mac OS X 10.2 or above

 For Mac OS X 10.2 or above, the system’s built-in driver supports PHOTO HARDDISK directly.

 MAC OS does not support the utility program. It is, therefore, not required to use the CD to install

software. However, you can still read the user manual in the “Manual” folder in CD.
