Troubleshooting
FAQ
The following is a list of common issues with the DriveStation. Following
each issue are possible resolutions.
I see the DriveStation in My Computer but I cannot access it.
The drive requires formatting. Try using the Disk Formatter Utility available
on our website www.bualotech.com. Consult the manual for the Disk
Formatter Utility for more help.
I cannot see the DriveStation in My Computer.
Verify that the POWER light is on. If it is not, then ensure that the power
switch is in the ON position.
Try toggling the POWER MODE switch right below the power switch. The
POWER MODE switch toggles whether the device is powered up via a USB
signal (“AUTO”) or purely based on the power switch’s position (“ON”).
If you have installed eco Manager utility, then verify that the DriveStation
was not put into sleep mode. Consult the manual for the eco Manager
Utility for additional help.
Verify that the hard drive inside the DriveStation is spinning. This
can be veried by placing your hand on the sides of the case and feeling
for a slight vibration. Also, after the DriveStation has been powered on
for fteen minutes or more it will begin to get warm. If neither of the
proceeding tests veried that the hard drive is spinning, then please contact
technical support for further assistance.
My backup program can’t save les to the DriveStation.
Reformat your DriveStation with NTFS, Mac OS Extended, or XFS. FAT32 is
limited to 4GB lesizes.
