4.11. Dashboard: Drive Information

This page shows you information about disk usage and will allow
you to reformat your drive.

4.11.1. Formatting Your 2big Network 2

When you click the top Format
disk (including on USBShare) will be erased and the disk will be
formatted. Data on any USB or eSATA hard drive connected to the
front port will not be affected. When you click the bottom Format
button (Fig. 62, b), only the USBShare will be formatted.
To reformat:
1. Click the FORMAT button.
2. In the blue window that opens, confirm by flicking the
button.
CAUTION: Formatting will erase all the data on your drive (but
will not remove users or settings). Make sure to back up all your
data onto another volume before proceeding. If you are formatting
USBShare and wish to back it up first onto another share, LaCie rec-
ommends you use the File Browser (see
File Browser) instead of using
users or an Explorer window for Windows users). LaCie cannot be
held for responsible for the loss of data occurring during formatting.
