PARTITIONING AND FORMATTING THE ROCPORT ID9 DRIVE ON A MAC OS
All Rocstor drives are factory formatted with FAT32, unless otherwise stated on the retail box.
WARNING:
Formatting and Partitioning the Rocport Drive will destroy all of its data. To
protect your data, back it up before formatting or partitioning this device.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.
All programs should be closed before beginning.
2.
Connect the Rocstor hard disk drive to your computer using (one) appropriate cable.
3.
Rocport is bus-powered through FireWire ports and turn ON automatically. With USB
connections you may need to connect to more ports to receive enough power depending
on your computer. When connecting the Rocport drive with a USB port, certain laptop
computers may not provide enough power to operate the drive. To overcome this
problem, connect the Rocport drive using a USB Y-connector or use an external power
source. This problem is likely to occur when using certain brands of laptop computers.
4.
“Click” means left click. “Right Click” will be so labeled.
5.
Some computers are set so a single “click” will perform the task, such as opening a
window. Depending on your mouse setting, you may have to double click to get to the
next window. If a single click does not open the next window, please double click.
