Connect:
Connect your iPod/USB storage device into the USB port of any Windows (98/2000/XP/Vista). If this is the first time you connect to this particular PC, it may take 20-30 seconds for your device to be recognized (you can see the associated pop-up messages on the bottom right system tray).

AutoPlay:
Windows AutoPlay will detect your device and open a dialog box providing you with several options. Select Run USB-PC.

No AutoPlay:
If AutoPlay does not come up within 30 seconds after you connect your device to a PC, from the Windows Start Menu go to My Computer and double click on the drive letter associated with your USB-PC device. This opens the USB-PC device folder so you can view the contents. Double click on the USB-PCStart.exe shortcut in this folder to launch USB-PC.

Installing applications:
In your USB-PC view (USB-PC View), installing applications is similar to installing applications on any PC - simply load the application installer CD/DVD, or download the application installer from the web and proceed as you would on any normal PC. In fact, in your USB-PC View, your "C" drive represents your USB-PC device, NOT the Host PC's hard drive. So applications install in the right place on your USB-PC device automatically. And here’s an added bonus: if the application installed on USB-PC asks you to reboot your PC, the only thing you need to do is to log out of USB-PC and log back in. There’s no need to reboot the host PC!

Working on the Host PC:
To access and work on the Host PC, simply switch to the Host PC view using the USB-PC Bar. As long as you are in the Host PC View, whatever you do is stored on the Host PC, including any applications you install. The moment you switch to the USB-PC View, whatever you do is stored on the USB-PC device. What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG).
