drive.
• Operate the drive only in a cool, dry location.

drive’s power or USB connectors.
• Wait for the green drive activity light to go out before
moving the drive, turning the drive off, or disconnecting
the drive’s power or USB connectors.

Installing the Windows 98 USB driver
a) When you first attach the USB hard drive to your
computer, the “Add New Hardware Wizard” starts
up automatically. Click on the Next button.
Note. During the installation process, Windows may
identify your DiskStor drive as a
USB Device
, a
Freecom Cable USB
device, or some similar
name. This is normal, and indicates that your
computer has detected the USB controller in the
drive.
b) In the second wizard screen (shown in Figure 4),
select the option labeled, Search for the best driver
for your device (Recommended). Then click on the
Next button.
c) Insert the USB Hard Drive Resource CD in your CD-
ROM drive. Check the box to instruct Windows to
search for new drivers on your CD-ROM drive, as
shown in Figure 5. Then click on the Next button.

d) The next wizard screen lists the main driver file
(FCCABLE.INF). Click on the Next button. At this
point the driver files are copied to your internal hard
drive.
e) After the driver files have been copied, you will see
the message, “Windows has finished installing the
software that your new hardware device requires.”
Click on the Finish button.
f) As the wizard finishes, “New Hardware Found”
messages may appear temporarily as the system
identifies your new USB hard drive.
After you have installed the appropriate USB driver, your
DiskStor USB hard drive is ready to use! If you have
difficulties with the installation, try the troubleshooting
tips on page 14.
