outlet and is powered up.
2) Plug the FireWire/1394 cable into the PC.
3) Windows will find the new hardware and will give drive Icon automatically.
No other drivers are required.
The drivers are now loaded. If the storage device in your FireWire/1394
Storage System is a hard disk, you must now partition and format the drive.
This is done through the use of the DOS utility FDISK. See your Windows
documentation if you are unfamiliar with FDISK. Note that you must run FDISK
before you try to format the drive and that you must run FDISK in a DOS
window while Windows is running.
If you have a problem in plug and unplug with Windows 98SE, you must
download the patch file from Microsoft Website to solve this problem.
