holding the front button.
4. Before using your drive, please launch LaCie Setup Assistant software
to format your drive. It will:
• Optimize your drive according to your needs
• Copy the User Manual and utilities onto your drive
To launch LaCie Setup Assistant:
Windows users: Double-click the LaCie drive icon in My Computer.
Mac users: Double-click the "LaCie Setup Assistant" icon on your desktop.
NOTE: If you do not launch LaCie Setup Assistant or if you quit LaCie Setup
Assistant after the formatting has begun, your drive will not be ready to use and
must be formatted manually. Further, the User Manual and utilities will no longer
be available on your drive and must be downloaded from the LaCie website:
www.lacie.com
NOTE: Running LaCie Setup Assistant does not prevent you from using your
computer's native disk utility program to format or partition your LaCie drive.
Simply follow LaCie Setup Assistant through completion, then use your computer's
native disk utility (Disk Management for Windows or Disk Utility for Mac) to
reformat your drive.
