Introduction
InSight is an innovative portable disk drive that allows you to
view information about your drive even when it is not connected
to a computer. Its unique cholesteric liquid crystal display (LCD)
maintains its display image without any power source. You can carry
InSight with you wherever you go and be able to read the
information on its display.
Display Information
The display shows the drive’s Volume Label on the top line and the
remaining free space (in gigabytes) on the bottom line. When using
Windows XP or Mac OS, the display information is updated each
time you connect the drive to a computer and each time you do a
safe removal of the drive (see below Disconnecting Your Portable
Hard Drive). When using Windows Vista, the display is updated only
when you connect the drive.
To change the Volume Label in Windows, right-click on the drive in
My Computer and then select Rename. To change the Volume Label
in Mac OS, highlight the drive on the desktop and then click on the
drive name to edit. The new volume label will show on the display
the next time the display is refreshed.
The number and types of characters that can be displayed depends
on certain requirements of the Operating System, the drive format
and of the display itself. The drive format requirements are
summarized below.
• FAT32 Volume Label can contain up to 11 upper-case-only
characters with the following character exclusions * ? / \ | . , ; : +
= [ ] < > “
• HFS+ Volume Label can not begin with a period and can contain
up to 32 characters, excluding :
• NTFS Volume Label can contain up to 32 characters with no
exclusions.
Volume Label strings longer than the display size will be truncated.
2

Any characters in the Volume Label string that are not in the
display’s supported character set will be displayed as *.
About the Hard Drive
The hard drive comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format
allows for operation with either Windows or Mac OS.
If you want to format to NTFS please consult your Windows
documentation and select an allocation unit size of 64K when
formatting. Because calculating the amount of free space for large
NTFS formatted drives can take considerable time (up to 3 minutes
in some instances), there are special considerations for using the
InSight display feature under NTFS:
 • Uponconnectingthedrive,thedisplaywillshow“scanning…”
and the blue LED will flash while the drive is busy calculating
the remaining free space. This process must complete fully
before the display will refresh and the drive will show up in
My Computer.
 • Uponsaferemoval,Windowsmaydisplaythemessage
indicating it is now safe to disconnect the drive, even while the
drive itself is still busy calculating remaining free space. While

allocation unit size of 64K when formatting to NTFS with this
product.
If you plan to use your hard drive only with computers running Mac
OS, you may reformat to HFS+. Consult your Mac OS documentation
for how to format to HFS+. Please note these special considerations
when using the display feature under HFS+

Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/
1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes/1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes.
Some capacity used for pre-loaded software, formatting and
other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As
a result, and due to differing calculation methods, your operating
systems may report as fewer megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.
Activity LED
The blue LED located at the front of your drive will come on to
indicate the power-on state. The LED will flash during data access.
Connecting To Your Computer
Installing your portable hard drive is extremely simple – just use
the included mini-USB cable to connect your hard drive to any free
USB port on your computer. On Windows computers, a new icon will
appear in My Computer representing your hard drive. On Mac OS
systems, your hard drive will appear on the desktop as a new disk.
Storing and Transferring Data
Once your drive is connected to a computer, it can be accessed and
used like any other removable disk. You can drag files to your unit’s
icon to copy them, navigate to your unit in Open or Save dialog
boxes, or delete files stored on your unit. For information on copying,
opening, or deleting files, consult your computer’s documentation.
Backup Software
Nero backup software is included on the hard drive. Double click the
Nero folder on the drive and then double click the setupx file to start
installation. The Nero Installation window will appear. Follow the set
