—————————————————————————————————————————————
- Yes, multiple users can access NetDisk™ at the same time. However, write access is only granted to
only one specific user at a time. An updated driver will be provided in November, 2003, that will enable
multi-write access.

- Currently there is an issue with Hyperthreading and Dual Processors. Hyperthreading is a new
technology that is associated with the new Pentium 4 Processors. We have just released a free beta
version of the NetDisk™ software that addresses this issue.
- There also is a compatibility issue when used with DLINK, SMC and US Robotics 802.11b wireless
routers. With their 802.11b, there are no any problems. We are currently working on finding a solution.
- When used with McAfee Virus Scan Professional 7.0, you must disable HAWK Script Stopper in
McAfee, or disable McAfee from scanning before rebooting your computer upon installation of NetDisk
software.
- If Internet access is blocked after rebooting, you can do a System Restore or uninstall McAfee and
internet access should be restored. More information can be provided by going to our troubleshooting
section or by calling XIMETA Technical Support at 949-753-7983.
Does it matter what kind of device that NetDisk™ plugs into?
- Yes, NetDisk™ is recommended to be plugged into a 100Mb / full duplex capable switch. It can be
plugged into a hub, but it is not supported and you may experience problems.
What files systems are supported by NetDisk™?
- NetDisk is not dependant on any file system. The file system on Operating System that you use NetDisk
with will vary. Windows 98SE and ME supports FAT32. Windows 2000/XP supports FAT32 and
NTFS (default NetDisk file system) LINUX and MAC OS X have their own file system, but also
support FAT32 for use with Windows as well.
How many users can use a NetDisk™?
- Theoretically, there is no limit. Recommended users are 2 to 20.
Are the NetDisk™ drives preformatted?
- Yes, they are formatted with NTFS and can be reformatted and partitioned easily using your computer’s
Operating System.
For NDAS mode, do I need drivers installed on each PC that is using the NetDisk?
