Congratulations on your new DriveStation Combo!
To begin, insert the DriveNavigator CD in your PC. The setup program will run.
Follow the steps to connect your DriveStation Combo.
DriveStation Setup
After completing the setup wizard, your DriveStation Combo is installed and ready
to use!
By default, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used with
most common operating systems. If you’re going to use it with programs that
generate lesizes larger than 4GB, such as backup or video editing software,
reformat the DriveStation as an NTFS drive.
If the setup program doesn’t run automatically, click
Start, then Run, and then type “d:\setup.exe” in the
Open window. Click OK.
Click DriveStation Setup Wizard to begin.

The DriveStation includes several optional utilities. To install and use
these utilities, insert the CD-ROM that came with your DriveStation into a

Memeo AutoBackup software is available for backing up documents,
multimedia les, and other les from your Windows PC to the
DriveStation. A license for using Memeo on a single PC or workstation is
included with your DriveStation. Please view the Memeo documentation
for more information on installing and using Memeo. As with all backup
programs, reformat the DriveStation with NTFS before use with Memeo
backup software.

The following is a list of common issues with the DriveStation. Following
each issue are possible resolutions.
I see the DriveStation in My Computer but I cannot access it.
The drive requires formatting. Try using the Disk Formatter
Utility on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM. Consult the manual for
the Disk Formatter Utility for more help. The manual can also be
found on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
I cannot see the DriveStation in My Computer.
Verify that the POWER light is on. If it is not, then ensure that the
power switch is in the ON position.
Try toggling the POWER MODE switch right below the power
switch. The POWER MODE switch toggles whether the device
is powered up via a USB signal (“Auto”) or purely based on the
power switch’s position (“Manual”).
If you have installed the Power Save Utility, then verify that the
DriveStation was not put into power saving mode. Consult the
manual for the Power Save Utility for additional help. The manual
can be found on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
Verify that the hard drive inside the DriveStation is spinning. This
can be veried by placing your hand on the sides of the case
and feeling for a slight vibration. Also, after the DriveStation has
been powered on for fteen minutes or more it will begin to get
warm. If neither of the proceeding tests veried that the hard drive
is spinning, then please contact technical support for further
assistance.
My backup program can’t save les to the DriveStation.
Reformat your DriveStation with NTFS. FAT32 is limited to 4GB
lesizes.
