After this installation you can use the new Silvercrest MoBox
hard disk in exactly the same way as any other hard disk on
your computer. Silvercrest MoBox fields of application
include:
- Moving or copying files or folders from other drives, CD-
ROMs or other media
- Installing and opening all kinds of program files on the
new hard disk
-
Saving video clips, games and other data
- Making safety copies of important data from your PC
(backup)
Note on Installing Applications
Your Silvercrest MoBox lets you install and execute
applications just like any other disk drive. Please note,
however, that most Windows-based applications that have
been installed on the Silvercrest MoBox are only operational
on the computer on which the applications were installed. On
installation, additional software information is frequently
copied to the partition of the operating system (usually C
drive), necessary for the execution of the application. If you
use the Silvercrest MoBox on another computer, this
additional information will be missing. If you connect the
Silvercrest MoBox once again to a computer to which the
application had previously been installed, the application will
function perfectly.
Formatting and Partitioning
The Silvercrest MoBox factory default settings are already
formatted with the NTFS file system. It is therefore not
necessary to format again if you do not wish to change the
file system or the partitioning.
When using the MoBox for AV
applications, it may be necessary to use
the FAT32 file system.
