If the drive does not
appear on the
desktop, make sure
there are no
extension conflicts
and the power is
turned on!
Mac OS
Mac OS9.2 and earlier, does not support creating multiple
partitions on an external drive. To do that, you would need to
purchase additional 3
rd
party software or upgrade to OS X.
Initializing the drives can be done on all Operating Systems.
For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create
partitions on your external disk.
•
Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder
•
Choose your external drive and format it according to your
requirement
For Mac OS X, we recommend formatting the drive using the
native Mac file system HFS+ also known as Mac OS Extended.
If you want to use your drive on a PC running Microsoft
Windows as well as on your Mac, we recommend you to use a
PC to format the drive. Choose FAT32 when formatting and do
not change anything on the partition or format on your Mac.
Otherwise, the PC might not be able to recognise the drive
anymore.
