Formatting and Partitioning Using Windows 2000 and Windows XP
The process of formatting and partitioning a drive on a computer running Windows 2000 or Windows XP consists of two
steps: (1) installing a signature on the drive, and (2) partitioning/formatting the drive. These steps will erase anything that is
on the disk.
1) Connect the drive to the computer via the FireWire port.
2) Right-click
My Computer
and click
Manage
.
3) From the
Computer Management
window, select
Disk Management
(located below the Storage group).
4) If this is the first time the drive is being formatted, Windows 2000 will launch the
Write Signature Wizard (Write
Initialize
Wizard in Windows XP). Click Next .
