If native Mac file 

system is used, the 

drive will only be 

recognised on Mac 

systems. 

 

To access the drive 

on both PC and 

Mac, format the 

drive using MS-

DOS (FAT32) 

 

 

 

If you can not see 

the drive, make 

sure the jumper 

settings of your 

hard drive are 

correct, there are 

no extension 

conflicts and the 

power is turned on! 

 

 

 

Mac OS 

 

Mac OS9.2 does not support creating multiple partitions on an 

external drive. To do that, you would need to purchase 

additional 3

rd

 party software, connect the drive to the internal 

IDE bus or upgrade to OS X. 

 

For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create 

partitions on your external disk. 

  Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder 

  Choose your external drive and setup your disk 

 

 

 

It is recommended to format the hard drive using the interface 

you will most likely be accessing the drive with. 

 

Note: DO NOT perform disk operations (format, partition, 

erase) when other computers have the NDAS mounted.
