Note:
The system manufacturer assigns bus numbers, which can range from 0 on up.
These numbers may or may not reflect the physical location of the bus. For example, the
second slot from the edge of the motherboard may be Bus 2, but it could also be Bus 16
or another arbitrary number. Checking Device Manager is one way to confirm the
specific bus number for your installation. You can also use ioManager to view this
number.)
3.1.6 Adding a File System to the ioDrive
With the ioDrive and driver installed, you can now use the
Windows Disk Management
utility to make your device available to applications. Typically, Windows will detect the
new device, initialize it and display it in Disk Management. You can then add
partitions, format a volume, or create a RAID configuration on your ioDrive using the
standard Windows procedures (see the
Windows Disk Management Utility
documentation
for more details)
If Windows does not, you may need to initialize it manually. To initialize an ioDrive:
1. Select Start > Control Panel.
2. Click
Administrative Tools
.
3. Click
Computer Management
.
4. Click
Disk Management
in the
Storage
section of the console tree.
