FAQ
How to solve it if you can’t use the Mobile Disk under some OS:
It doesn’t support any USB device under the WIN95 and NT4 OS, so
that can’t use the Mobile Disk.
After formatting can PC use in the MAC?
If use the Mobile Disk in the PC, can just format directly. If the PC &
MAC cannot be in common use, you can use the MACOPEN software
(download from the Internet) in the PC, format to the MAC model. If
you used the MO storage before, you must familiar and have more
experience about it because MO storage has the same problem when
doing the format.
Why I can not see the drive?
If you can not see the drive, make sure the jumper settings of your
hard drive is “master”.
