Windows:
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
switch on your PC. Windows will recognize and install your fireRAID
system as a 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 RAID system 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 recognize, 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 them 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 configuring of your disk with a
graphical interface. Detailed explanations can be found in the
chapter „Hard Disk Tools“.
Please pay attention to the chapter „Common FireWire Hints“. If you
have difficulties while installing or using the drive please refer to
chapter „Troubleshooting & Support“.
