4.2.7 Disk Utility
•
Format Disk:
Use this tool to format your hard drive and
prepare it for the LAN disk. When you format it using this
disk utility, it will create a single partition using the FAT32 file
system.
If you create other partitions or choose a different file system
when connected through USB, keep in mind that the LAN
disk is only able to recognise the first partition and it has to
be the FAT32 file system!
•
Sleep Time:
Set a time from 5 to 60 minutes. When the drive
is idle for longer than that, it will automatically go into stand-
by mode and spin down.
If you need immediate access to the drive, set it to 0 and the
drive will keep spinning at all times.
•
Scan Disk:
Click on Start to scan the disk for errors. A report
will be shown in the field below. If errors are found, it is
recommended to format the drive again and/or connect it via
USB to a computer to scan for and fix the errors. Use the
Delete Error Msg button to erase any old reports.
