You can choose to

create several

partitions through

USB but be aware

that only the first

partition will be

recognised on the

network (LAN disk

function).

The drive has to be

formatted using the

FAT32 file system.

Instead, you may

also use the disk

utility of the LAN

disk to format the

drive. Connect the

device to your LAN,

utility and choose

“Format”.
