Yes and yes also note I have a problem with it from the first week it became un formatted in such neither computer would recognize the drive it kept wanting to be formatted wich in turn would erase my data. My av receiver still reads it ant it only reads fat32. Bipartisan was informed but they were no help at all

It comes with the USB Connection wire. Also as soon as you plug it in, you can start downloading......hope this helps.

It has been formatted from the factory as NTFS which works with Windows OS, including Windows 7. No need to worry.

The drive must be formatted with the FAT file system and then it works. This mean nothing over 32GB.

No drivers necessary. Just plug it into your USB port and it functions as expected. I formatted mine once by accident, but did not need to install any driver afterwards.

It doesnt have room for internal drives, just external ones, via USB.By default I would recomend to format the drive with extFAT, for compatibility, FAT32 gives too much restrictions for HD video, and NTFS would give you problems with other devices.

It only accepts FAT32, not exFAT. So you have to use special tools on Windows to achieve that as Windows will automatically format media to exFAT on drives larger than 32 GiB. Also, I've found that on all but a few computers the ISOstick simply will never work. This hasn't been addressed in over a year (most problems could likely be fixed in firmware). I'd suggest getting a Zalman drive enclosure with CD/DVD (ODD) emulation instead. It also doesn't work on all machines but it's considerably cheaper and works on more of them. Aside from that it's not dependent on the architecture of the host system like the ISOstick (the boot menu runs on the CPU of the host). It only accepts FAT32, not exFAT.

I'm not sure about FAT32, but I was able to reformat mine to exFAT using Disk Utility on a Mac, and that allowed me to use the drive with both Macs and PCs. I'm fairly certain you could do the same for FAT32, by the same method. Good luck.

I'm honestly not sure, as I immediately formatted the drive when I got it. Sorry!

Both NTFS and Fat 32 formatted discs or USB sticks are supported. Cheers! Marty G

No, it is a bare drive. I used a usb2IDE appliance and Clonezilla, a free OpenSource download.

I don't recall any instructions, but I think there may have been some on the box. First there are no drivers needed. This unit will fit in a floppy drive slot in your case. It's fairly straight forward. There are four separate cable pairs, 1 for firewire, labeled 1394, 1 for HD audio, and two cables for the four usb ports. Just make sure that your motherboard has usb headers that will work. The cables are fairly long. Hope this helps.

I formatted mine NTFS, so it only works well for PC. I think if you format FAT32 it should work across operating systems.

Yes and no. It doesn't necessarily need formatted but the computer you are using it with will probably need the proper drivers, if you are using it as an external hard drive.

You need to format your USB device with FAT32 if i remember correctly. NTFS may not be supported so just plug in to your computer, right click and hit Quick Format.

No, it worked fine, but I still formatted it to MS-DOS (FAT) for 'just in case' reasons.
