MAXTOR FUSION USER'S GUIDE My USB drive is not recognized. External USB drives must be formatted for the FAT32 or VFAT file system. Drives formatted for the NTFS file system can be read by the Maxtor Fusion admin user but cannot be used as a destination for backing up or writing files. If I send an invitation to a user, do they have to use Firefox or Internet Explorer 6.0 to view the files? No. Users should be able to click on links received in most major browsers. I have a Mac and a PC. On the PC, I can play video and listen to music from the Detailed Information windows for these files. I cannot do this on a Mac. Why? Some browser and plug-in configurations do not support playing of video or music files from within the browser. If this occurs, verify that you have the latest browser and player updates or export the file and play it directly from the player application on your computer. The default media player on the Mac is QuickTime, and it cannot play .WMV files at the time this document was written. You can always download the file, and play it with an alternate application. For example, VLC from VideoLAN can play .WMV files in the Mac OSX environment. Can the admin see and modify files in another user's account? Yes, through the EXPLORE file manager interface, the admin user can view and manage the file and folder contents of any user account. However, the admin cannot change or modify any of the tags, descriptions or share groups, invited or public, that have been created by other users. I am the Maxtor Fusion administrator and also have a user account. After I use the EXPLORE icon as a non-administrative user, I cannot see the admin's files - even after I log in again as administrator. What's happening? Once you log into the EXPLORE interface, the operating system of your computer will keep your user account logged in even after you close the EXPLORE window. To log out, your computer requires you to perform a user logout from its operating system or restart the computer. If you are the only Maxtor Fusion user that uses your computer then you can have your computer automatically log you in after restarting your computer. Select the appropriate option from the login screen of your file manager when you double-click the EXPLORE icon. How do I select a new the default browser so I can complete the installation? On Mac OS X, Safari-Set Preferences sets the default Web browser for your user login. Change this setting from Safari (or any other browser) to Firefox once you have installed this application. On Microsoft XP, select Start > Set Program Access and Defaults. PAGE 20
