Always be sure to properly eject the drive from your desktop before physically unplugging BlackBox
Plus from your computer. You can accomplish this by dragging BlackBox Plus icon to the trash in the
dock, by selecting BlackBox Plus icon and pressing the “command” and “E” keys simultaneously, or by
using Disk Utility application.
Windows Formatting Instructions (7 and above) once
BlackBox Plus is connected
1. Right-click My Computer and click Manage.
2. In the Computer Management window, under Storage, click Disk Management.
3. In Disk Management, right click the Unallocated partition near the bottom of the window that
corresponds to the capacity of BlackBox Plus (often Disk 1). Click "New Simple Volume" and the Write
Signature Wizard pops up.
4. Use the wizard to write a signature to the new drive. If you want only one partition we suggest using a
primary partition and selecting the maximum size. In most cases you’ll want to use NTFS volumes, this is
the default for Windows 7. Ensure "Perform a Quick Format" is checked. Choose exFAT if you want to use
the drives with older versions of Windows or if you want to use the drive with Windows and Mac OS.
5. Formatting will take a few minutes after which your drive will be ready to use.
•Note - Formatting for Windows 8 and above is the same once you are in Disk Management.
