: Loading state is saved.
: Enter Sleep Mode.
* <code>9</code> Press long for 3 seconds

==== Selecting a file ====
: In order to maintain loading state, you must save the state.
* refer to the above key operations. [[#Key Defines]]

==== Safely Removal In OS ====
: If iODD's partition is NTFS, then this function is mandatory when disconnecting iODD from host.
: NTFS does not write Immediately the data to HDD.
* Please do [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Safely-remove-devices-from-your-computer Safely Removal] before disconnection.

=== Initialization ===
* Initialize the drive with <span class="notranslate">([[wken:MBR]])</span> or <span class="notranslate">([[wken:GPT]])</span>.
* Format any partition to use with (NTFS | EXFAT | FAT32).
*: In FAT32 partition, there is 4G byte file size limitation. please use that carefully.
*: The Partition may not be first partition.
* Copy files or folders to Iodd.
* safely remove ioddMini. ( very '''Important''' if NTFS). ([http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Safely-remove-devices-from-your-computer safely remove]).
* Reconnect Iodd.
* If the screen is not matched what you copyed, Press <code>4</code> for 3 seconds.
*: You can select the default partition.

=== Troubleshooting ===
: Follow these steps until the error is clear.
# If your password is '1234', type '0' + '1234' at the password input screen.
#: The '0' is the user number. Admin is '0'. User is '1' ~ '4'
# press <code>7</code> and hold. and then connect to PC.
# press <code>1</code> and hold. and then connect to PC.
# Check Disk. ([[msen:check%20disk | for Windows]])
# Update with the latest firmware.
# Backup the data of iodd, and Do [[#Initialization|Initialization]]
: If It is hardware problem
# Reboot the PC
# Change USB cable
# Connect to another PC.
# Connect to the PC with pressing <code>9</code> and <code>enter</code> for 7 seconds.
#: and will refresh with the same firmware.

=== Configure Multi Device ===
# Enter to ''Menu'' -> ''Mode Setting''.
# Refer to [[#Menu]]
# You can configure max 5 device individually.

=== Using a Virtual CD Drive (DVD-ROM or Blu-ray ROM) ===
# A ODD device is needed. ( [[#Configure Multi Device|Configure Multi Device]] )
# copy ISO files to ioddMini. (root or subfolder)
# [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Safely-remove-devices-from-your-computer Safely Remove]. (Required for NTFS )
# Reconnect.
# select the file.
# If you want to save loading status, press <colde>9</code>.
# If PC doesn't find boot device, then reboot the PC. <span class="notranslate">(Ctrl-Alt-Del)<span>

==== Booting Error ====
* Confirm whether the ISO file is bootable.
* If your PC does not support multi LUN, please configure only one drive.
* Confirm whether the ISO file is bootable.
* Although it is bootable ISO file, please confirm whether the result with a real USB DVD-ROM is same.
* Try with USB Y-CABLE for adding external power. (ioddMini is a class of BUS powered USB device.
* If your laptop has own internal DVD-ROM, disable internal DVD-ROM at BIOS settings. or remove it.
* The older OS than motherboard may not have an appropriate driver to boot.
** ex) It is impossible to install a genuine Windows 7 on Skylake platform using USB DVD-ROM device.

=== Using a Virtual VHD drive (Virtual Hard Disk) ===
* At least one VHD device is needed. ( [[#Configure Multi Device|Configure Multi Device]] )
* Fixed-size VHD file only is supported. (dynamic VHD and VHDx files are not supported)
* Also fixed [[wken:VMDK|VMDK]] file is supported.
* Create VHD files directly to iODD by [[VHD Tool++|"VHD Tool++"]]. ("VHD Tool++" can creates a file without fragment)
*: Or You can copy VHD file to ioddMini directly. But the file must be unfragmented.
* Max 3 VHD Drives are supported at the same time.
# create a VHD file using this tool. ([[VHD Tool++|VHD Tool++]]).
# Reconnect.
# select the file.
# If you want to save loading status, press <colde>9</code>.
# Make an image to the VHD drive of ioddMini with image tool.

=== Using a Virtual USB Floppy Drive (Virtual FDD) ===
* Not all computers support this drive.
* Uncompressed floppy images (IMA, IMG, BIF, VFD) are supported.
* IMG, BIF, VFD image file extension must be renamed to IMA.
* Almost the same as the above method.
