Glyph ndfw1b-160 Anleitung Für Quick Setup

 

 
Either of two ways:  1) Connect the FireWire port on the drive to a FireWire 400 port on your computer using a 
standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire 400 cable.  Or 2) Connect the FireWire port on the drive to a FireWire 800 port 
on your computer using a 9-pin to 6-pin Bilingual cable (contact Glyph support for details). 
 

 
Use the supplied USB 2.0 cable.  The cable has a B connector on the drive end.  The other end plugs into either a 
USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port on your computer.  Performance on a USB 1.1 port will be far less than on a 2.0 port; 
use (or obtain) a USB 2.0 port on your computer for best performance. 
 

 
Yes. You can connect the FireWire port on the drive to your Mac OS 8.6/9 or Windows 98SE/ME computer. Or 
you can use the USB port on the netDrives if your computer has a USB port. For USB with Windows 98SE/ME 
you will need to install the appropriate driver downloadable from www.glyphtech.com. Look under in the  
support/downloads section of the web site. 
 

 
The default format on the netDrives USB+FW combo drive is for the Macintosh, and Windows doesn’t recognize 
it.  Once you have connected the netDrives USB+FW to your Windows PC, you have to re-initialize it for use 
with Windows.  For Windows XP and 2000, that’s going to be NTFS format;  for Win98/SE, that will be FAT32 
format (Windows XP and 2000 can also read FAT32). Detailed instructions for re-initializing your drive are on 
the Glyph website, or you may choose to follow the quick Windows XP formatting directions below: 
 

•  Click on the Start Menu and choose “Settings” and then choose “Control Panel”. 
•  From the Control Panel list choose “Administrative Tools” and then choose “Computer Management”. 

•  Under “Storage” click on “Disk Management” and your drives should appear in the window. 

•  If the Wizard comes up, click cancel. 

•  Choose your Glyph drive, right-click on it and choose “Initialize” or “New Partition”. If you want to 

delete the current Windows partition, choose “Delete Partition” here first. 

•  The Wizard should pop up again, choose “Primary Partition”.  

•  Next choose the partition size. Select the maximum if you only want one partition. 
•  Click “Next” and assign the drive letter, then click “Next” again. 

•  If you’re primarily using Windows XP/2000, then leave NTFS as the File system. Use FAT32 for 

Windows 98SE/ME. 

•  Click “Perform a quick format”, and give the volume a new label in the “Volume label” field. Then click 

“Next” and “Finish”. 

•  Your drive will then format and will show under “My Computer” ready for use.
