Under Windows 2000/XP
For an all-windows 2000/XP computer network environment or only
Windows PC will share the NetDisk, we recommend you to format it to
NTFS. However, if HEXD3UTX will be shared between both MacOSX and
Windows computer, you have to format it to FAT32. Standard Windows Disk
Management described next will allow you to format hard drive up to 30GB
into FAT32, and hard drive larger than 30GB into only NTFS. If FAT32 must
be used in hard drive larger than 30GB, you should refer to previous section
“Under MacOSX” to use Disk Utility, or use a third party PC software
Swissknife from www.compuapps.com to do FAT32 format.
To format hard drive in HEXD3UTX, please disconnect HEXD3UTX
from the network and connect it to a Widows 2000/XP PC with USB cable.
If you can see a new entry under Disk drives of Device Manager, you are
ready to partition and format the drive.
