Frequently Asked

Questions (FAQs)

FAQs for Mac Users:

Q: Why is my drive asking me to format it? It was already

formatted and it contains data.

A1: Run a disk repair utility on the drive.

A2: Perform permission repair on your system drive. Open the

disk utility (located in /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.)

Select your system drive (usually the first disk listed) and click

"Repair Disk Permissions" in the "First Aid" Tab.

A3: Restart your computer. As soon as the bootup chime

sounds, press and hold down the option-command-p-r key

combination to reset the PRAM. Release the keys when the

chime sounds a second time.

Please refer to your Mac manual for more information on these

procedures

Q: I’m using a USB connection on a Mac. Do I need to install

the USB 2.0 Installation CD?

A: No, the External Hard drive uses the built-in Mac USB Mass

Storage Support software, which includes the necessary system

extensions.

Q: My computer does not recognize the drive.

A: First, check to make sure that all of your connections are

secure, and that the power switch is in the "ON" position. Then

check if your External Hard drive is listed in the Apple System

Profiler. If the problem persists, verify that the USB port used

is functioning.

Q: I'm trying to copy files to/from FAT32 volumes or network

shares, and it keeps failing.

A: FAT32, HFS+, and other file system formats allow different

standards of filename length or use of special characters.

Rename the offending file(s) and try the operation again.

Connecting the drive

to Your Computer

1. Plug the AC adapter cord into the power port on the back of

the drive. The plug should not require much effort to insert. If

the plug will not go in, do not force it; the plug is probably upside

down. Rotate the plug and try again. Incorrectly inserting the

plug could damage the drive and void the warranty.

2. Plug the power cord into the cord socket in the AC adapter.
Plug the other end into an AC outlet.

3. Connect the appropriate cable to your host:

USB and eSATA plugs are shaped so they can only

be properly inserted one way. Be sure to insert

the plugs properly or you may damage the drive

and void the warranty.

(USB) Connect the square USB 2.0 connector

(type B) of the included USB cable to a the

square USB plug on the GForce MegaDisk, and

the rectangular end to a free USB port on your

computer.

(eSATA) Connect the included eSATA cable to a

free eSATA port on your computer.

If your computer does not have eSATA ports,

you may purchase an eSATA expansion card for

your computer. Contact your authorized Fantom

Drives reseller for further details.

4. Flip the power switch located on the back of the GForce

MegaDisk to the "ON" position (labelled "-".) Once the drive is

powered up, your computer should recognize it and the drive will

be ready to format.
