4) Formatting the hard disk
Your DataStation has been preformatted with the high-performance file system NTFS.
a
This file system is optimized for use with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems from
Windows® XP and also works great with modern Linux® operating systems.
If you use Mac® OS X, it is necessary that you use a different file system. You can easily
reformat your DataStation with a different file system using the "Disc Utility" of Mac®
OS X. You have the choice between the file system "HFS+" ("Mac OS Extended"), which
is optimized for use with Mac® OS X, and the file system "FAT32", which permits the
exchange of data with Window® operating systems.
Important: Back up all the data on your hard disk before formatting it.
a
Note: ALL the data on the disk will be deleted when you format it.
a
Please note that only files with a maximum file size of 4 GB are supported for a hard disk
i
formated with FAT32. If you want to store larger files, we recommend the use of the file
systems NTFS (Windows®) or HFS+ (Mac® OS X).
Windows® 7/Vista™/XP
The DataStation can be formatted like any other hard disk in Windows®.
