Partitioning and Formatting

drives. Partitioning requires formatting the drive and will erase all data if any
exists on the drive.

some Windows XP) systems and choose

2. Locate
Disk Management
below the
Storage
submenu on the left side of
the window. The right side of the window will update, showing you a list of
all the drives connected to your system.
3. Locate the Kanguru QS2 in the bottom half of the Window. In order to
partition the drive you will have to delete the current partition by right
clicking on the status bar (see below) to the right of the disk and choosing

bar and choose
