Congratulations on your new DriveStation Duo! With two separate hard drives
inside, the DriveStation Duo gives you many options for large, economical
capacity and easy-to-use redundancy.
To begin, insert the DriveNavigator CD in your PC. The setup program will run.
Follow the steps to connect your DriveStation Duo.
DriveStation Setup
After completing the setup wizard, your DriveStation Duo is installed and ready to
use!
By default, your Duo is congured in independent disk mode. This gives you two
equally sized drives to use on your computer. For example, a DriveStation Duo
500GB appears by default as two 250 GB hard drives to your computer. If you
would prefer a single large drive, or a mirrored RAID pair, you may use the RAID
Utility to change your DriveStation Duo’s conguration. Turn to the next page for
instructions on using the RAID Utility.
Out of the box, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used
with most common operating systems. If you’re going to use it with programs
that generate lesizes larger than 4GB, such as backup software, reformat the
DriveStation as an NTFS drive.
If the setup program doesn’t run automatically, click Start,
then Run, and then type “d:\setup.exe” in the “Open”
window. Click OK.
Click DriveStation Setup Wizard to begin.

Using the RAID Utility
The RAID Utility allows you to congure your DriveStation Duo in
several modes:
Independent Disks - Appears to your computer as two separate hard
drives.
Spanning Mode - Appears to your computer as one large hard drive.
RAID 1 Mirror - Appears to your computer as a single drive. The
second drive is an exact copy of the rst drive, for redundancy.
Note that changing the mode of the drives in your Duo will erase all data
on them! Back up any important data before using the RAID utility.
You may launch the RAID Utility by clicking on RAID Setup Utility in the
HD-WIU2 program group.
Or, you can launch the program from the Start menu:

Using the RAID Utility
Once launched, the RAID Utility will briey scan for your DriveStation
Duo. This may take a few seconds.
The initial screen will show your conguration. If your Duo is new, it will
probably be in Normal mode, with two equally sized independent disks.
To change the RAID mode, click Disk Settings and choose Change
RAID mode.
6
Using the RAID Utility
Select the drive structure that you’d like to use. Click Yes, Yes, and OK.
Understand that this will erase any data on the drive!
The disk structure will be rebuilt and automatically formatted with
FAT32. FAT32 is compatible with Windows PCs, Macs, and Linux. If
you would prefer to use NTFS formatted disks, run Windows Disk
Management from the Disk Settings menu. NTFS is recommended for
video editing, backup, and other programs that generate les larger than
4GB.
7
The DriveStation includes several optional disk utilities. To install and use
these utilities, insert the CD-ROM that came with your DriveStation into a
Windows PC.
Memeo AutoBackup software is available for backing up documents,
multimedia les, and other les from your Windows PC to the
DriveStation. A license for using Memeo on a single PC or workstation is
included with your DriveStation. Please view the memeo documentation
for more information on installing and using memeo. As with all backup
programs, format the DriveStation with NTFS before use with Memeo
backup software.
Other utilities are also available, including:
Disk Formatter (for formatting your DriveStation)
Secure Lock Ware (for encrypting the data on your DriveStation,
preventing the data from being accessed by anyone but you)
To learn more about installing and using these utilities, you may read their
documentation by clicking on View Documentation.

The following is a list of common issues with the DriveStation. Following
each issue are possible resolutions.
I see the DriveStation in My Computer but I cannot access it.
The drive requires formatting. Try using the Disk Formatter
Utility on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM. Consult the manual for
the Disk Formatter Utility for more help. The manual can also be
found on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
I cannot see the DriveStation in My Computer.
Verify that the POWER light is on. If it is not, then ensure that the
power switch is in the ON position.
Try toggling the POWER MODE switch right below the power
switch. The POWER MODE switch toggles whether the device
is powered up via a USB signal (“Auto”) or purely based on the
power switch’s position (“Manual”).
If you have installed the Power Save Utility, then verify that the
DriveStation was not put into power saving mode. Consult the
manual for the Power Save Utility for additional help. The manual
can be found on the DriveNavigator CD-ROM.
Verify that the hard drive inside the DriveStation is spinning. This
can be veried by placing your hand on the sides of the case
and feeling for a slight vibration. Also, after the DriveStation has
been powered on for fteen minutes or more it will begin to get
warm. If neither of the proceeding tests veried that the hard drive
is spinning, then please contact technical support for further
assistance.
My backup program can’t save les to the DriveStation.
Reformat your DriveStation with NTFS. FAT32 is limited to 4GB
lesizes.
