Partitioning & Formatting
Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the drive,
so make sure you have a backup! This step is usually only
required the first time you install a factory new hard drive, if you
change the RAID mode or want to erase all data on your drive.
PC running Windows
For Windows, use the disk management program:
Right click on “My Computer” and choose “Manage”
Select “Disk Management”
Choose the drive you want to format and right click on it for
further commands (Choose New Partition)
Follow the Partition Wizard to setup the drive
For WinXP and Windows Vista, we recommend formatting the
drive using the NTFS file system.
If you are using the FAT32 file system to format the drive on
WinXP or Windows Vista, the biggest single partition you can
create will be 32GB. To create larger partitions, you need to
use a 3
rd
party application or change to NTFS format.
