device and locate the drivers automatically. You can now access the drive
in My Computer.

There is no need to install any drivers for these operating systems. To begin
using the drive, follow these steps:
1. If your computer is not turned on, please do so at this time and wait for

4. Once the computer has detected the Zipper Mini, you can begin
transferring data to the drive.
Disconnecting the Drive:
DO NOT remove the drive during data transfer. If the LED is flashing, then the
drive is still transferring data.

the right side of the taskbar and select the Kanguru Zipper Mini to safely remove
the drive.
NOTE: If you do not properly remove the drive from your system, then you may

Windows 98SE users: Windows 98SE does not have a safe hardware removal
utility, so you can simply unplug the drive from the USB port to remove it from the
operating system.

icon to the trash. After dragging it to the trash, the drive will now be safe to
remove.
