Seagate 3.5-inch Pushbutton Backup External Hard... Bedienungsanleitung

External Hard Drive Quick Start

Guide

Your new Seagate®external hard drive is a state-

of-the-art unit: solid, safe, quiet, cool, versatile

and portable, ready to go from one location to

another—an ideal backup device for multiple

systems, or simply a safe and dependable place

to store your important files.

Your new Seagate hard-drive kit also includes

award-winning BounceBack Express backup

software for both Windows and Mac operating

systems. See page 12 for more information

about BounceBack Express.

Dual-interface and USB-only kits

Seagate ships two external hard drive kits:

•Adual-interface kit, with a USB 2.0 interface,

a FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394a and iLink)

interface and full backup capability that includes

a pushbutton backup feature

•AUSB-only kit, with a USB 2.0 interface and

full backup capability that includes a pushbutton

backup feature.

Note. BounceBack Express does not support the pushbutton

backup feature for a Mac OS that is using a USB interface.

This guide uses the terms “dual-interface” and

“USB-only” to differentiate between these two

kits wherever something applies to one kit but

not the other.

Cautions

If your drive is turned on, don’t move it.

You can safely move your drive when the power LED

is OFF. If the power LED is lit when you move your

drive, you risk excessive wear, reduced reliability,

and possible data loss.

Dual-interface kit: Use only one interface

at a time.

Do not simultaneously connect USB and the FireWire

(IEEE 1394a) cables to your drive. However, you can

connect two FireWire cables to your drive at the same

time to daisy-chain FireWire devices.

Note. When using the FireWire (IEEE 1394a) connectors in

a daisy chain configuration, the drive must be powered on

for the pass through connection to function.

Multi-function push button operations.

• Press and hold button until LED comes on—

1st Power On occurs.

• After Power On, press button—initiates backup.

• Press and hold button until LED shuts off—

Power Down occurs.

External Hard Drive

Hardware setup

For a dual-interface kit

1. Plug the AC-power adapter into the hard drive

and the wall outlet.

2. Refer to the table below to select the fastest

interface that is supported by your computer,

and use that cable to connect the drive to

your computer. USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394a)

connectors have unique shapes, and each

connector is shaped to allow only one way

to connect.

Interface Transfer rate

USB 1.1 12 Mbits/sec

USB 2.0 480 Mbits/sec

FireWire (IEEE 1394a) 400 Mbits/sec

Note. When using the FireWire (IEEE 1394a) connectors in

a daisy chain configuration, the drive must be powered on

for the pass through connection to function.

Caution. Use only one interface at a time. If you

connect both the USB and the FireWire (IEEE 1394a)

cables to the same external drive at the same time,

you could damage the drive. However, it is OK to

connect two FireWire cables to the same drive at

the same time to daisy chain devices.

If you are a Macintosh user and you intend to use

the pushbutton-backup feature, you must use the

FireWire interface. BounceBack Express does not

support a Mac OS that is using a USB interface.

Continue to step 3 on page 6.

For a USB-only kit

1. Plug the AC power adapter into the hard drive

and the wall outlet.

2. Use the USB cable to connect the drive to

your computer.

Continue to step 3 on page 6.

USB FireWire

(IEEE 1394a)

6Quick Start Guide

For both dual-interface and USB-only kits

3. Press and hold the button on the front of the drive

until LED lights, to turn on power to the drive.

4. Turn on the power to your computer.

5. See page 7 for Windows OS information, or

page 9 for Macintosh OS information, including

installing drivers, reformatting and partitioning,

and dismounting your drive.

6. See page 12 to install and configure BounceBack

Express software to allow backups.

Note. For dual-interface kits, you must install and configure

BounceBack Express software to enable the pushbutton-backup

feature on your drive.

You don’t need to follow this hardware setup

sequence. Hardware setup steps 1 through 4

are a good way to connect your new drive to your

computer, but you don’t always need to follow this

sequence. For example, if you want to attach your

drive after your computer has already booted, you

can simply connect the interface cable, turn on

power to the drive, and your OS automatically

detects and mounts the drive. This is known

as hot-plugging.

In a hot-plug situation, it’s a good idea to connect

all power and interface cables to your drive, and to

place the drive where you want it to remain, before

you turn it on. This helps ensure that you won’t

need to move your drive after it’s running.

Windows OS

Installing drivers for your operating

system (OS)

Windows XP/Me/2000 Pro operating systems have

built-in, up-to-date drivers for both USB and FireWire

(IEEE 1394a) interfaces. 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.

Windows 98SE using a USB interface: When

you connect the drive to your computer and turn

it on, Windows 98SE displays the Add New

Hardware wizard. This means the wizard needs

to find USB drivers, which are included on the

Seagate Disc Utility CD.

Follow these steps to install the drivers:

1. Insert the Seagate Disc Utility CD in your

computer’s CD-ROM drive.

2. Click the Next button. The wizard displays a

screen with two options.

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, and your new drive is ready

to use.

Windows 98SE using a FireWire (IEEE 1394a)

interface (dual-interface kit only): To use the

FireWire interface, you must download the Microsoft

Windows 98SE system update from Microsoft.

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 Disc Utility CD.

Caution. Reformatting destroys all data on the drive.

Back up any data that you want to keep before you

reformat the drive. Also, if you reformat to NTFS,

you must always log in to BounceBack Express

(see page 12) as an Administrator to ensure access

to your backup files.

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 infor-

mation. 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.

8Quick Start Guide

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.

To use the DiscWizard for Windows

application

Launch the DiscWizard for Windows application in

the Files directory on the Seagate Disc Utility 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.

Also, for dual-interface kits, the two FireWire

(IEEE 1394a) ports are designed for daisy chaining

FireWire devices, not for connecting two computers

to the drive at the same time.

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.

Note. When using the FireWire (IEEE 1394a) connectors in

a daisy chain configuration, the drive must be powered on

for the pass through connection to function.

External Hard Drive

Dismounting your drive with Windows OS

Mounting is the beginning and dismounting is the end

of the conversation between your computer and your

external hard drive. Mounting occurs automatically

when you connect and turn on your drive, but you

must initiate the dismounting action yourself. If you

disconnect or turn off the drive before you dismount

it, neither your drive nor your OS understands that the

conversation is finished. It’s like hanging up without

saying goodbye.

Caution. Never turn off power to the drive or physically

disconnect any cable attached to the drive when

the disc activity LED indicates disc activity. That’s like

hanging up in mid-sentence, and it will probably result

in data loss.

How to dismount 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.

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 interface cable or turn off the drive.

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.

Multi-function push button operations.

• Press and hold button until LED comes on—

1st Power On occurs.

• After Power On, press button—initiates backup

(FireWire only).

• Press and hold button until LED shuts off—

Power Down occurs.

10 Quick Start Guide

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.

3. Click Partition if you want to partition your drive,

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.

Data-sharing between Windows
