4. Click on the Short Test button to perform the diagnostic test on the drive. Test time(s) may vary. 5. When finished click Exit. If the word, Pass is displayed, the drive is functional and no defects were found; if an error code is generated, please contact Maxtor for further assistance. 2. My computer shows less drive capacity than on the box label. Hard drive capacity is defined in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity. In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to one million bytes and one gigabyte (GB) is equal to one billion bytes. We are most accustomed to the decimal system in everyday life. However, computers use the binary (base 2) numbering system. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Windows uses the binary numbering system. When you use your system to check your drive's capacity, multiply the value shown (displayed in base 2 megabytes) by 1,048,576 to determine the decimal equivalent for the hard drive's capacity.

When you connect the drive to your system using the USB 1.1 interface, the data transfer rate is approximately 1 MB per second. Maxtor does not recommend installing applications on a drive using the USB 1.1 interface. You can however use your drive to store the data for many applications over a USB 1.1 interface. 4. I get a message stating that I have a high-speed device connected to a low-speed port in Windows XP. This is normal. Windows XP is letting you know that you have connected your USB 2.0 drive to a USB 1.1 port and you will not have the high-speed capabilities that you would have with a USB 2.0 port. 5. I'm having data transfer performance problems with my USB 2.0 adapter card. Maxtor drives will run as fast as the host adapter card will allow (up to the maximum burst rate of 480 Mb per second). If you are having performance issues, make sure the card's drivers are the most current available and that they are installed properly. www.maxsupportPS3100.com
