Installation (Continued)
On a Windows computer, the new drive will be available in My Computer.
By default it will use the first available drive letter and will be named HD-
PETU2.
With a Mac, the new drive will appear on the desktop.
Format
By default, the MiniStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used
with OS X and Windows. If you’re going to use
it with programs that generate filesizes larger than 4GB, such as backup
or video editing software, reformat the MiniStation as an NTFS drive
(Windows) or a Mac OS Extended drive (Mac).
Backing up the MiniStation’s contents before reformatting is recommended.
Backup
Formatting disks will erase all information from your MiniStation. Please
back up all data before proceeding.
