Drive Formatting Overview

If you intend to format drives connected to the Qio MR using Windows 
drive formatting tools, you may find much more information by using 
“format volume” as the search item in Windows Help. The procedure 
listed below describes the process of formatting and configuring drives 
under Windows Vista; steps for formatting under Windows 7 are very 
similar

.

  1. 

Turn on your storage system, start Windows, log in, and then click 
Start > Control Panel. 

 

2.

 In the 

Control Panel

 window, double-click Administrative Tools. If 

you have not disabled User Account Control (UAC), a 

UAC

 window 

will appear; click Continue.

 

3.

 In the 

Administrative Tools

 window, double-click Computer 

Management.

 

4.

 In the 

Computer Management

 window, click Disk Management 

under Storage to launch the Disk Management application.

 

5.

 If an 

Initialize Disk

 window appears or if disks are described as not 

initialized, select a partition style for the attached drive(s), and then 
click OK; the drive will be initialized 

(Figure 1)

. Repeat as necessary 

with other drives attached to the Qio MR.

 

6.

 Right-click the field next to the name field of one of the attached 

drives and select the formatting type you wish to use for it. Repeat as 
necessary with other drives attached to the Qio MR 

(Figure 2)

.

 

7.

 Depending on the formatting type you chose, a New Partition 

Wizard may appear; follow the onscreen instructions to complete 
formatting of the drive(s). Once formatting is finished, the drives 
are ready to use.
