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 the jumper 
settings of your 
hard drive are 
correct, there are 
no extension 
conflicts and the 
power is turned on! 
Mac OS: 
Mac OS9.2 and earlier, does not support creating partitions on 
an external drive. To do that, you would need to purchase 
additional 3
rd
 party software. Initializing is no problem on all 
Operating Systems. 
For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create 
partitions on your external disk. 
•  Select “Disk Utilities” in the utilities folder 
•  Choose your external drive and format it according to your 
requirement
