Under Windows 2000/XP
For an all-windows 2000/XP computer network environment or only
Windows PC will share the NetDisk, we recommend you to format it to
NTFS. However, if PHR-100NDAS will be shared between both MacOSX
and Windows computer, you have to format it to FAT32. Standard Windows
Disk Management described next will allow you to format hard drive up to
30GB into FAT32, and hard drive larger than 30GB into only NTFS. If FAT32
must be used in hard drive larger than 30GB, you should refer to previous
section “Under MacOSX” to use Disk Utility, or use a third party PC software
Swissknife from www.compuapps.com to do FAT32 format.
To format hard drive in PHR-100NDAS, please disconnect PHR-100NDAS
from the network and connect it to a Widows 2000/XP PC with USB cable.
If you can see a new entry under Disk drives of Device Manager, you are
ready to partition and format the drive.
