the hard disk is using your system driver and a proper function is
possible! By default you can use the drive only „in one piece“ by
using the systems driver „Delete Volume“ in the „Special“ menu. For
creating several partitions, you have to use additional software!
ONE Technologies recommends using „Hard disk Toolkit“ from FWB
Software. This product is available as a bundled OEM version in
combination with ONE drives. Please consult your local ONE dealer.
If you are using Mac OS X (10.1 and above) additional software for

Connect your drive with the included power cable to a suitable
current source (110-260 V) and switch it on. Connect the device with
the FireWire Cable to a free FireWire port on your computer. Now
turn on your PC. Windows will recognize and install your hard disk
automatically. Additional drivers are not needed, but maybe
Windows will ask for the Windows installation CD to complete the
installation. Restart your computer. After the system has been
loaded completely again, your hard disk is installed. Now the device
manager shows the new drive. Like any hard drive (IDE, SCSI,
internal or external) it must be configured before you can use it! As
you may have already recognized, the drive is shown in the device
manager, but not in the explorer or in “my computer”. To get it to
mount, you have to create one or more partitions on the disk and
format it afterwards. Under Windows 98SE und ME you can use the
program „FDISK“ , under Windows 2000 or XP use the “disk
management” (Computer Management). As an alternative to
„FDISK“ you can also use the “Shining Utilities” from the
ONE_ToolsCD, which allows you to configure your disk with a
