Maintenance Settings - Format
Select a disk to format:
The pull-down menu lists the drives that
can be formatted. If a USB Hard Drive is
connected to LinkStation then it will be
available for format. The
Internal HDD
can
also be formatted from this page.
NOTES:
Formatting a drive will erase all
data. Do not format a drive unless you need
to! Brand new USB Disks may need to be
formatted before the LinkStation can write to
them, but the internal LinkStation hard drive
comes pre-formatted. Do not reformat the LinkStation’s internal drive unless you’re sure that’s
what you want to do!
Before formatting a USB Disk, please make sure it is plugged into the rear USB Port on
LinkStation. Only the rear USB Port supports use with a USB Disk.
