Your new Seagate®portable hard drive enables

you to easily add disc space to your laptop

or desktop system, and the convenient size

enables you to take the drive with you. Plus,

connecting it couldn’t be easier—in most cases,

you can just plug it in. You will be ready to go

within seconds!

Setup

Your Portable External Hard Drive

comes with a special USB cable.

This cable is shaped like the letter

‘Y’ with one USB connector on

one end of the cable and two

connectors at the other end of the

cable. This cable supplies power

to the drive and handles the data

going between the drive and your

computer—this means you don’t

have any other cables to connect.

1. Connect one end of the

USB ‘Y’ cable to your Portable

drive and the connector end

labelled “Data + Power” to any

one of the USB ports on your

computer. The drive does not

have a power switch, so if

your computer is powered on,

the drive will begin spinning

as soon as you connect it to

your computer.

Note: If your computer does not supply

enough power to the drive through the

one USB “Data + Power” connector, plug

in the unused connector on the ‘Y’ cable

to another USB port on your computer

(or a powered USB hub). This additional

connection may be needed to provide

additional power to the drive and is only

required if connecting the “Data + Power”

connector alone does not power up

the drive.

Portable External Hard Drive

USB 1.1 connectors

only support transfer

rates of 12 Mbits/sec.

This is not ideal for disc

drives. To take advantage

of the speed of this disc

drive, connect it to a

computer that supports

high-speed USB 2.0.

High-speed USB 2.0

supports transfer rates

up to 480 Mbits/sec

(40 times faster than

USB 1.1).

Note. A DC receptacle is

available near the USB

connector on the

portable hard drive to

enable the use of an

external DC power sup-

ply. This power supply

may be used to provide

necessary power to the

portable hard drive in the

event an extra USB port

is not available or the

USB port(s) don’t provide

enough power. See page

22 for specifications.

2. See below for Windows OS

information, or page 7 for

Macintosh OS information.

These sections provide

instructions about how to:

• Install drivers

• Reformat and partition the drive

• Dismount the drive

Installing drivers and reformatting

are steps you only need to do

one time. After that, you can use

the drive by just connecting the

USB cable.

Windows OS

Installing drivers for your

operating system (OS)

Windows XP/2000 Pro/Me

operating systems have built-in,

up-to-date drivers for a USB

interface. You don’t need to install

any drivers if you are using one of

these operating systems, but make

sure you have downloaded and

installed the latest service packs

from Microsoft to ensure that you

have the latest drivers available

for your OS.

Note. Certain OEM installations of

Windows Me call for a file named

USBNTMAP.SYS while attempting to

load drivers for the portable drive. This

file can be located on the Windows Me

installation or recovery CD in the

WIN9x\BASE2.CAB folder.

Windows 98SE: When you connect

the drive to your computer,

Windows 98SE displays the Add

New Hardware wizard. This means

the wizard needs to find the USB

drivers included on the Seagate

Utility Toolkit CD. Follow these

steps to install the drivers:

1. Insert the Seagate Utility

Toolkit CD in your computer’s

CD-ROM drive.

2. Click the Next button. The

wizard displays a screen with

two options.

4Quick Start Guide

3. Select the Search for the best

driver for your device option.

The wizard displays four

check boxes.

4. Select the CD-ROM and Specify

location options. Locate the

drivers in the Drivers USB

Win98 directory.

5. Click the Next button. The

wizard installs the appropriate

drivers on your computer and

tells you when it has finished.

6. Click the Finish button to

complete the installation.

7. Restart your computer. Your

new drive is ready to use.

How to reformat and/or

partition your drive

Your drive is factory-formatted

for a FAT32 file system and no

further formatting is needed for

Windows operating systems.

However, if you are using Windows

2000 Pro or Windows XP and you

prefer to use an NTFS file system,

you can reformat with either

the built-in Disk Management

application provided by Microsoft,

or the Seagate DiscWizard™for

Windows application located in

the files directory of the Seagate

Extra Value CD.

Caution. Reformatting destroys all data on

the drive. Back up any data that you want

to keep before you reformat the drive.

To use the Disk

Management application:

1. Click Start, click Run, type

compmgmt.msc, and then

click OK.

2. In the console tree, click

Disk Management. The Disk

Management window appears.

Your discs and volumes

are displayed.

3. Right-click on the drive you want

to reformat (or partition) and use

the options provided to reformat

or partition the drive.

Portable External Hard Drive

To use the DiscWizard for Windows

application, launch the DiscWizard

for Windows application in the

Files directory on the Seagate

Extra Value CD and follow the

easy-to-use, on-screen instructions.

Data-sharing between

Windows and Macintosh

systems

Seagate does not recommend

that you use your external hard

drive to share data between

Windows and Macintosh

operating systems. This is

primarily due to all of the variables

in OS types and versions, formats

and partitions, interfaces, and

third-party connectivity software

packages. If you absolutely must

use your external hard drive to

share data between Windows

and Macintosh systems, initialize

your drive (before you use it!) for

a Macintosh OS, as described

below, and then purchase and

install—on your Windows system—

available third-party software that

allows your Windows system to

read from and write to a drive that

is formatted for a Mac OS.

Caution. Do not leave your drive in its

pre-formatted FAT32, single partition

condition if you intend to transfer data

between Mac and Windows systems.

Doing so will result in data loss.

Dismounting your drive

with Windows OS

Caution. Never physically disconnect any

cable attached to the drive when the drive

LED indicates disc activity—doing so will

probably result in data loss.

How to dismount and

disconnect the drive

1. Close all windows and quit all

running applications that are

stored on the drive or that are

using data stored on the drive.

6Quick Start Guide

2. Click the icon in your system

tray that represents the Safely

Remove Hardware function,

and then select the Seagate

external drive.

Note. The system tray is the area in the

lower right portion of your desktop near

the clock.

Windows OS displays a message

when it is safe to disconnect the

USB cable.

Macintosh OS

Format (initialize) for

Macintosh OS

Your new Seagate external hard

drive is factory-formatted with a

FAT32 file format. Although your

Macintosh operating system may

recognize and mount your new

drive with this format, FAT32 is

not recommended for use with

a Macintosh OS. You must

format your drive using one

of the Mac OS format types

before you use it with your

Macintosh operating system.

Reformatting takes only a few

seconds using Apple’s Disk Utility,

which comes with your Mac OS.

Caution: Formatting destroys all data on

the drive. If you have data that you want to

keep, back up the data before formatting

the drive. Seagate is not responsible for

lost data.

How to reformat and/or

partition your drive

1. Open Disk Utility, which is

located in Applications/Utilities.

In Mac OS 9, this utility is named

Drive Setup.

2. Select the disc that you want

to reformat and/or partition

in the left column. Be sure to

select the new drive, and not

an existing drive that may contain

data, because reformatting

and/or partitioning erases all

data on the selected drive.

Portable External Hard Drive

What is partitioning?

Partitioning divides

the disc into separate

volumes. It does not

increase the capacity

of the drive. Creating more

than one partition can be

helpful in organizing your

information. For example,

you might want one

volume (partition) to store

your backups and one

volume for applications

or other information. Each

volume receives its own

drive letter, so each

volume appears to be

a separate disc drive in

Windows Explorer.

3. Click Partition if you want to

partition your drive into multiple

volumes, or click Erase to

reformat the drive as one volume.

Partitioning is not required; if you

select Partition, continue to the

next step. For Erase, you’re

done!

4. Choose the number of

partitions from the Volume

Scheme pop-up menu. Click

each partition and enter a name,

select a format, and enter a

size for each partition. (You can

also drag the partitions to change

the size.) Select the Mac OS

Extended format for each

partition unless you have a

specific need to select any other

available Volume Format option.

5. Click Partition, and then click

Partition again. Your drive

appears on your desktop with the

volume label(s) you entered in the

steps above. If you elected to

partition the drive to create two

or more volumes, each volume

will have a drive icon and label.

Sharing data between

Windows and Macintosh

systems

Seagate does not recommend that

you use your external hard drive to

share data between Windows and

Macintosh operating systems.

This is primarily due to all of the

variables in OS types and versions,

formats and partitions, interfaces,

and third-party connectivity

software packages. If you absolutely

must use your external hard drive

to share data between Windows

and Macintosh systems, initialize

your drive (before you use it!) for a

Macintosh OS, as described above,

and then purchase and install—on

your Windows system—available

third-party software that allows

8Quick Start Guide

your Windows system to read

from and write to a drive that is

formatted for a Mac OS.

Caution. Do not leave your drive in its

pre-formatted FAT32, single partition

condition if you intend to transfer data

between Mac and Windows systems.

Doing so will result in data loss.

Macintosh OS interface drivers

Macintosh OS X and OS 9 have

built-in, up-to-date drivers for a

USB interface. You don’t need to

install any drivers if you are using

a Macintosh OS.

Dismounting and

disconnecting your drive

with Mac OS

Caution. Dismount the drive before

disconnecting the USB cable from the

drive. The drive will spin down when you

dismount the drive. You can then discon-

nect the USB cable and move the drive.

How to dismount and

disconnect the drive in

Mac OS X and Mac OS 9

1. Close all windows and quit

all running applications that are

stored on the drive or that are

using data that is stored on

the drive.

2. In Mac OS X, drag the Seagate

external-drive icon to the trash

icon in your Dock area. In Mac

OS 9, drag the Seagate external-

drive icon to the trash icon.

3. You can safely disconnect

your hard drive when the drive

icon disappears from your

desktop and the drive LED

is not lit.
