NEWBY requires MAC drivers for Maxtor 300Gb Shared Storage Drive

Hi

 

I Have just purchased a Macbook and would like to connect to my 300Gb Maxtor Shared Storage Drive.

Following thw link for the drivers (said both Window & Mac)

Instructions say download .iso file to Mac desktop and then double click to unpack.

 

MSS Quick Start Installation ISO Image for Win/Mac

Download Information
 

File Version: 1.0
File Size: 37056.0 kb
Supported Operating Systems: Mac OS X, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional

Summary
 

The MSS+_QS_20297801.iso file is an ISO image containing the Maxtor Quick Start installation software used in conjunction with Maxtor Shared Storage Plus drive for supported Windows and Macintosh Operating Systems.

Procedure
 

Instructions for Macintosh:

  1. Download the file MSS+_QS_20297801.iso file to your Mac desktop
  2. Double click on the MSS+_QS_20297801.iso image to open and install the Quick Start program

 

 

This creates a folder, but I cannot see a Mac install file only a Windows  .exe file

Any suggestions of how to get a Mac driver please?

Sorry, the Maxtor Shared Storage Drive isn't supported with your new Mac OS.
