FireFly User Guide 

To save disk space on your computer’s internal hard drive, keep the aforementioned 

types of files on your FireFly.   To play back your MP3s and videos, or to show your 

photos, connect FireFly to any computer that has FireWire. This means you don’t have 

to carry several CDs to an event; all you need to bring is FireFly.

Create a Boot Drive for Macintosh Computers

You can boot a Macintosh computer directly from the FireFly rather than the internal 

disk drive. This means you can open your applications and files using any Macintosh 

computer. You can always work in a familiar environment wherever you go; all your 

settings and preferences are stored on FireFly.

To create the boot drive, copy the System Folder to the FireFly.

To boot your Macintosh computer with FireFly:

1

Connect the FireFly as described on page 13.

2

Start up the Macintosh computer while holding the Option key.

3

Select the FireFly and press OK.
