HP SimpleSave Backup Software

• HP SimpleSave runs directly from your HP SimpleSave drive.

• Easily back up all of your digital music, photo, video, recorded TV, gaming, or

other data files.

• Easily restore any or all of your backed up files.

• Automatically backs up changes whenever the computer is idle for 5 minutes.

• Can be used to back up multiple computers.

Drive Format

This device is preformatted for the NTFS file system. This file system supports media

files that are larger than 4 GB.

Some computers use the FAT32 file system to organize files on the computer. This

system is supported under Windows XP. With FAT32, a single file is limited in size to

4 GB. This may create a problem when you are creating backup files. If you need to

use this device on a computer that requires FAT32, you need to reformat the drive.

Reformatting the Drive for FAT32

1. Double-click the My Computer icon.

2. Click the Removable Disk icon. A message appears asking you if you want to

format the drive. Click Yes.

3. Click Full in the Format type area of the Format window. You can also enter a

label for the drive at this time.

4. Click Start.

5. Click OK. Formatting can take longer than 60 minutes. Do not disconnect the

drive during the procedure.

6. When formatting is complete, click Close and then click OK.

Important: Reformatting the drive erases all its contents. If you have already saved

files on the drive, be sure to back them up before reformatting.

TROUBLESHOOTING – 7

Troubleshooting

Drive does not appear on my computer

Try the following solutions in the order listed:

1. Check to see if the drive is on. The power LED on the front of the drive should be

lit.

2. Check that the USB cable is securely and properly connected to the drive and the

USB connector on the computer.

3. While the computer is turned on, unplug the USB cable. Wait 10 seconds, and

then reconnect the USB cable.

4. See if the computer is recognizing the USB port you are using by checking in the

Device Manager window. See the documentation that came with your computer

for more information.

A message appears that states I have a high-speed device connected to a

low-speed port (Windows XP)

This is normal. Windows XP displays a message that you have connected your USB

2.0 drive to a USB 1.1 port. You will not have the high-speed capabilities that you

would have using a USB 2.0 port.

Data transfer rate seems slow with my USB 2.0 adapter card

The drive operates as fast as the host adapter card allows (up to the maximum burst

rate of 480 Mb/s). If you are having performance issues, make sure that the USB 2.0

card drivers are the most current available and are installed properly.

HP SimpleSave backup software is not working

Please see the HP SimpleSave Backup Software User Manual located on the drive.

I have reformatted my drive and/or need to reinstall HP SimpleSave

backup software

You can reinstall HP SimpleSave backup software after downloading it from

http://hpsupport.wdc.com

Write Cache Enable does not stay enabled

For protection of your data, Write Cache Enable is turned off. For more information,

go to: http://hpsupport.wdc.com.

Administrator privilege for installing software

Depending on your operating system, you may need to be logged on as the

administrator to install software. See the Windows Help files or the documentation

that came with your computer.
