VIEWING FILES ON BONZAI XPRESS

You can save, copy, move and delete files on Bonzai Xpress just as you would on any

other drive on your computer.

Viewing Files in Windows

In Windows Explorer, Bonzai

Xpress

appears as a

“Removable Disk”, mapped to

your computer. To access files

on the Bonzai, open

My Computer to view the

storage devices attached to

your computer. Then, click on

the Bonzai Xpress desktop icon.

(The drive letter assigned to the

Bonzai depends on the

computer’s hardware

configuration.)

Viewing Files in Mac OS

In Mac OS Finder, Bonzai

Xpress

is represented by a

drive icon on the desktop.

Unnamed drives appear as a

“NO NAME” drive. To access

files on the Bonzai Xpress,

double-click the drive’s desktop

icon.

FORMATTING BONZAI XPRESS

Bonzai Xpress is formatted as a FAT volume at the factory—allowing you to format the

drive and access files using standard Windows or Mac OS tools. For instructions on

formatting drives, refer to the documentation provided with your operating system.

Formatting for Mac Only Use

Mac users get better performance

when the Bonzai is formatted as a

Mac OS Standard or Mac OS

Extended volume. To format the

Bonzai Xpress in Mac OS X, open

Disk Utility, select the Bonzai, and

then click Erase.

After formatting Bonzai Xpress for Mac OS, you can customize the Finder window for

quick access to the files and folders on the drive.

ENABLING WRITE PROTECTION

The Bonzai Xpress has a write protect switch to

prevent users from accidentally erasing the data on the

drive.

To enable write protection, slide the write protect

switch aft to the locked position. To disable write

protection, slide the write protect switch forward to the

unlocked position.

Formatting Bonzai Xpress destroys all data stored on the drive.

accessed from Windows.

When the write protect switch is in the Lock position,

you cannot format or write data to the drive.
