DataLocker.com - Simply Secure

The easiest way to use the DataLocker with both a Mac and Windows based system is to install Macfuse and the Mac NTFS driver.

See below :

1. MacFuse http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

– Download here: http://macfuse.googlecode.com/files/MacFUSE-2.0.3%2C2.dmg

2. NTFS 3g “driver” http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ – Download here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/catacombae/NTFS-3G_2009.1.1u1-stable-catacombae.dmg?use_mirror=osdn

After the Install go to “System Preferences” to the MacFuse and NTFS-3G options.

If you prefer not to install this, you can reformat the Data Locker in the FAT32 drive format.

The DataLocker comes pre-formatted with Windows NTFS.  To use exclusively in a Mac environment simply format the drive on your Mac using HFS+.  

If you plan to use the DataLocker between a Windows and Mac environment you have two options:

1) Install the Mac OS NTFS driver. Here are the instructions - http://downloads.sourceforge.net/catacombae/NTFS-3G_2009.1.1u1-stable-catacombae.dmg?use_mirror=osdn or

2) Reformat the drive in the FAT32 format. We highly recommend option 1 due to limitations with the FAT32 file system.

The DataLocker supports multiple partitions and formats allowing you to create numerous partitions with different formats depending on your needs.
