Transcend 1.8” Portable Hard Drive
Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend) releases its 1.8” USB 2.0 portable hard drive this month, April 2004. Although roughly the size of a standard business card, it has more than enough capacity (20GB/40GB) for your data storage needs. No need to carry around another troublesome power brick either; it is powered directly from the USB port. This pocket drive is perfect for the person always on the go.
Data transfer rate is up to 480 Mbps (USB2.0). This device is fully compatible with USB2.0 and backwards compatible with USB1.1 specifications. Unlike CD-RW’s, which require special software, pocket drives will appear as just another hard drive. There isn’t any extra driver software to worry about (except for Win98SE). Using the included ExBoot software, your entire computer can be backed-up and restored at a moment’s notice. Weighing only 4.2oz (118g) for the 20GB HDD and 4.6oz (130g) for the 40GB HDD. Transcend’s portable hard drive is as rugged as it is lightweight. Smaller and more convenient than a 1.44MB floppy diskette, this hard drive is ready to go wherever and whenever you need it.

hello, ive got a problem with my hard drvie, i recently had windows vista beta 2 on my hard drive, was working fine but i missed xp. So i tried installing xp again, i wiped my computer, but the operating system failed to load after setup. So i booted from the disc again and tried installing but it still failed to load up. I got out my old windows 98 disc that installed, but i could only use it in safe mode, normal mode did not work, and in safe mode i have no cd drive capeabilities or internet access! After installing 98, which doesnt fully work, i tried loading xp again from the boot up, it says ‘press any key to continue’ so i press that then it says ‘ setup is inspecting your hardware configuration…’ and it does that but after that it goes to a black screen. i tried loading it many times but all i get is a black screen. In 98 safe mode it only says i have a 2gb hard drive when i have got a 160gb drive. Im not sure how to install a working operating system now, any help is this because my hard drive has finally gone corrupt! any help please…
