The following is a list of common issues with the DriveStation. Following each
issue are possible resolutions.
I see the DriveStation in My Computer/Finder but I cannot access it.
The drive requires formatting. Try using the Disk Formatter
Utility on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM. Consult the manual for the
Disk Formatter Utility for more help. The manual can also be found on
the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
I cannot see the DriveStation in My Computer/ Finder
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 (“Manual”).
If you have installed the Power Save Utility on your PC, then verify that
the DriveStation was not put into power saving mode. Consult the
manual for the Power Save Utility for additional help. The manual can be
found on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
Verify that the hard drive inside the DriveStation is spinning. This
can be verified 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 fifteen minutes or more it will begin to get
warm. If neither of the preceeding tests verified that the hard drive is
spinning, then please contact technical support for further assistance.
If you are experiencing any additional troubles, please contact our technical
support for additional assistance.
