Troubleshooting
I can see the MiniStation DDR in Computer (PC) but I cannot
access it
The drive may require formatting. Try using DiskFormatter2. Consult the manual for DiskFormatter2 for more help.

Verify that the power LED is on. If it is not, check the cable! The MiniStation DDR should be connected to your

assistance.
