Troubleshooting and tips

Cause	Troubleshooting
If you attempt to copy more than 4 GB of data to the device then Microsoft Windows willabort the process and display an error message.	In order to ensure maximum compatibility with all standard operating systems and potential applications, the device has been pre-formatted with the FAT32 file system. This file system does not support data files which are larger than 4 GB. Data which might exceed this limit include for example DVD image files, digital TV recordings etc.The device must be converted to NTFS to allow files larger than 4GB to be stored.Always back up any data stored on the device before performing the steps described below. It is possible that operating systems other than Microsoft Windows may no longer be able to recognise the data.• Make a note of the drive letter (e.g. F:) of your drive.• Press and hold the Windows key on your keyboard and press the "R" key.An input window appears.• Enter "cmd" in the input field.• Enter the command "vol F:" . "F:" is a placeholder. Rather than "F: ", enter the drive letter for your drive.A message is then displayed showing the name of your device.• Make a note of the name of your device.• Enter "convert F: /FS:NTFS". Again, use your particular drive letter in place of the placeholder "F:".Some versions of Windows require the name of the drive as confirmation:• If you are asked for the name of the drive, enter the name you wrote down before.The file system of the device will be converted to NTFS without loss of data.
The Safely Remove Hardware function does not work.	• Close all programs that might access the drive (e.g. Norton Protected Recycle Bin).
Can the device be attacked by a virus?	The device behaves like a hard drive. It can be infected by a virus through any file that you save on it. For this reason we recommend the use of an anti-virus program.
Do I have to turn off my computer when I want to install the device?	The STORAGEBIRD is a "Plug & Play"device. You can install it whenever you like - even while the computer is switched on.
