Check the following: 
1.  A single USB port may not provide enough power for the StoreJet25  to function. Please 
connect both rectangular ends of USB Y-cable to your computer. 
2.  Ensure that the StoreJet 25 is properly connected to the USB port(s) on your computer. 
3.  Ensure that the USB port is working properly. If not, try using an alternate USB port. 
 
I installed an OS onto the StoreJet 25. Why can’t I boot from it?
 
Current USB 3.0 host devices do not support operating system boot up. 
 
 
I cannot copy large files to the StoreJet 25
 
1.  Is there enough available disk space? 
2.  Is the file larger than 4GB? If so, please see below: 
The StoreJet 25 default file system is FAT32, which allows it to be recognized on most types of 
computers, game consoles and media playback devices. However, the FAT32 file system does 
not support large files that exceed 4GB in size. If you plan to store large files that are larger than 
4GB, you will need to convert the drive to a different file system such as NTFS. Please see the 
“Formatting the Hard Drive” section of this manual for instructions on how to re-format the 
StoreJet 25. 
 
 
I’m having problems with the StoreJet 25 on my Mac
®
 
If you previously formatted your StoreJet in Windows
®
, it is most likely formatted with the Windows 
NTFS file system, which may not be 100% compatible with Mac
®
 OS. To store and backup data on 
your Mac
®
 please follow the instructions on formatting to 
convert the drive to Mac OS file system
If you plan to regularly use the drive with both Windows and Mac computers, we recommend 
formatting the drive to the FAT32 file system (the StoreJet comes pre-formatted with FAT32 from 
the factory). Keep in mind that formatting the drive will erase all existing data on the drive. 
Note: To keep existing data, you will need to use a Windows or Mac computer that can 
detect the StoreJet drive to make a backup copy of all essential files.
 
 
 
I cannot detect the StoreJet 25 in Linux
®
 
If you previously formatted the StoreJet 25 a Windows or Mac computer, it is most likely formatted 
with a file system that is not compatible with Linux. To solve this problem, please follow the 
instructions on 
formatting the StoreJet 25 in Linux.
 However, please be aware that formatting the 
drive will erase all existing data on the drive.   
Note:  To keep existing data, you will need to use a Windows or Mac computer that can 
detect the StoreJet drive to make a backup copy of all essential files.
 
 
 
Some of my photos, MP3 music files or documents are missing or deleted. Is there 
any way to recover them?
 
If you accidentally formatted your drive or deleted folders that contained important data,
