Chapter 6 Initialization and format the hard disk
6-1 Initialization in Windows 2000 / XP
CAUTION!
Partitioning and formatting a disk drive will delete the data in the HDD. We assume NO
responsibility for your lost data.
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to
initialize hard disk at the system of WINDOWS 2000/XP.
With the Windows 2000/XP use the “
Disk Management
” program to install your disk. This
program is located at “Computer Management”.
Windows can support a disk volume at FAT32 over 32GB, but the format utility can not format the
disk volume over 32GB. If you want to format a disk volume at FAT32 mode over 32GB then you
need the third party’s utility to format the disk volume. Like the “Partiton Magic” from
“PowerQuest”.
6-2 Initialization in Windows ME / 98SE
Execute the “
FDISK
” program at “MS-DOS” prompt to initialize and format the USB 4XHDD in
Windows ME/ 98 SE environment.
For addition, please refer to a help file of Windows.
# Under Windows 98SE/Me can not format the disk volume over 32GB and under Windows
98SE/Me user use FDISK (Under DOS). FDISK not support over 137GB HDD. You need the
third party’s utility to format the disk volume over 32GB at windows Me and 98.
6-3 An initialization procedure in Mac OS X
Execute
“Disk Utility”
to initialize an individual disk. Please initialize the disk volume with “MacOS
expansion”!
# Normal mode Initialization
At the very first time use the USB 4X HDD at normal mode. Mac only shows the master HDD,
you need to execute the “Disk Utility” to partition the slave HDD.
