Formatting your Drives on Windows
Windows uses the Disk Management application to format a new drive in the exFAT format.
1
Plug your new drive into Blackmagic MultiDock.
2
Go to Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/
Disk Management.
3
Right click on your new drive from the list of connected drives and select New Simple
Volume. New unformatted drives will be described as Unallocated.
4
A window will open asking for the volume size. Leave the volume size defaulted to the
drive’s maximum capacity. Click Next.
5
Assign a drive letter and click Next.
6
Set the file system to exFAT. Type a volume label, select ‘Perform a quick format’
and click Next. Your new drive will quickly be formatted and made ready for use with
Blackmagic MultiDock.
Use Volume Wizard on Windows to format your drive.
You can also format drives in the exFAT format using
the Format dialog box feature in Windows. It can
be found by right clicking on the drive’s icon.
