Revision 1.1.1-1
With 2 partitions, you will have icons for HD1 and HD2 on the Home
Screen. Since there is one less available icon space, you will only be
able to connect up to 2 external memory devices at the same time.
When formatting HD2 with the Format
menu option, the same
formatting process will be applied to HD2 as HD1. The result is that
the default folder structure will also be created in HD2, but only the
Backup
folder will be used. Also, the drive label will be changed to
HD1. To reduce possible confusion, it is recommended to use your
computer to format the HD2 drive partition. The Backup
folder will
be automatically created.
Creating multiple partitions
:
To prepare your Picture Porter 35 for multiple partitions, make sure
that you do not have any important data on the hard drive as you will
need to reformat the hard drive.
For Windows users, the Windows operating system will not allow
you to format the Picture Porter 35 hard drive in the required file
system. You will need to use a ‘disk management utility’ to make the
partitions and format each partition in the FAT32 file system.
For Mac users, use Disk Utility to format the Picture Porter 35 hard
drive in MS-DOS file system.
1. Connect Picture Porter 35 to your Mac with the USB cable.
Please make sure you have AC power plugged in.
2. On Mac, select Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Double-click to open the Disk Utility application.
3. In Disk Utility, select the appropriate drive for Picture Porter 35,
and select Erase
.
4. Next, select Partition
.
5. From the Volume Scheme pop-up menu, choose the number of
partitions you would like to create.
6. Click each partition and type a name* for it, choose the MS-DOS
file system, and type a size. You can also drag the divider
between the partitions to change their sizes.
* This is the name that will show up under the drive icon on your Desktop.
7. Click the Partition
button in the lower-right corner of the window.
8. The created drives will now appear in the list of disks and volumes.
They will also appear in the sidebar of the Finders window.
