Data Locker User Manual 12
Initialising & Formatting Data Locker
Mac OS Users:
In order to use the Data Locker on your Mac computer the drive must be initialised
and formatted using a file system type that the Mac OS can access, as Mac OS cannot
currently access NTFS (the default for Data Locker) file systems fully.
To initialise and format the Data Locker using a Mac supported file system you will
need to use the Disk Utility application supplied with Mac OS to format the Data Locker
with either the MS-DOS or a native Mac OS file system.
Using the MS-DOS file system will allow you to use the Data Locker on both PCs and
Macs, where as the native Mac OS file system types will only allow you to use the
Data Locker on Macs.
You can find detailed instructions on how to format the Data Locker for use with a Mac
on our web site in the Support FAQs section.
