Formatting the drive
In order to remove data from the hard disk, the partitions must be formatted.
Caution!
You must be totally certain about the drive letter to enter, so that you do not
format a drive that contains data you wish to keep.
You can carry out the formatting using Windows® Explorer (right click on the drive and
select Format).
Deleting hard disks from the system
The external hard disk must be disconnected before it can be deleted, depending on the
operating system. Read how this works in the help files of your operating system.
1. Disconnect the hard disk from the operating system.
2. Now unplug from main power and disconnect all the connection cables from the ex-
ternal hard disk.
Caution!
The hard disk must not be deleted or turned off while it is being accessed. This
can lead to data loss.
You can see that data is being transmitted when the LED display flashes blue.
When the LED display is constantly blue, no data is being transmitted. Howev-
er, you should make sure that all files that you have opened from the hard disk
(documents, etc.) have been closed again before you delete or turn off the hard
disk.
