1. Right-click the
My Computer
icon on your desktop and select
Manage

Disk Management
under
Storage
to open the Windows Disk Manager. This example illustrates the
LARGE
storage policy, which concatenates the capacity of all hard drives connected to the
TR5UT+/TR5UT+B
.
Every disk should appear with the word “
Basic”
, a size value that shows the available storage capacity, and a
status of “
Online
”. Instead of
Basic
, a disk could appear
Unknown
,
Dynamic
, or
Not Initialized
.
If the disk appears as “
Unknown
”, right-click the disk icon and select
Write Signature
. A window opens
with the selected disk (all Unknown disks may appear in this window). Make sure the box next to each disk is
checked and click
OK
. The disk should now be marked as a
Basic
disk.
If a disk appears as “
Dynamic
”, right-click the disk icon, and select
Revert to Basic Disk
. Within a few
seconds, the disk should be marked as a
Basic
disk.
