Troubleshooting
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.
After the device has been connected to the
computer, if the drive symbol appears but data
cannot be transferred, the external power supply
is needed.
► Remove the USB cable from the device.
► Plug the power supply into the mains and
connect it to the device.
► Connect the device to the computer via the
USB port.
