User manual

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
will not be able to
recognize the drive
anymore.
If you can not see
the drive, 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, connect the drive to the
internal SATA connection or upgrade to OS X. Initializing the
drive 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
