Formatting Your Datadock Ii; Formatting The Drive In Mac Os X - Fantom Drives DataDock II Quick Start Manual

Formatting Your Drive
Your DataDock II comes preformatted at the factory with the FAT32 file
system, which will mount on most modern operating systems. FAT32
has some limitations, and we recommend you reformat the volume to a
file system format more compatible with your particular computer and
operating system environment.
Formatting a hard drive erases all data contained on it. Please
be sure to create a copy of the files you wish to keep to another
location before reformatting.

Formatting the drive in Mac OS X

1. Launch the "Disk Utility" application located under Applications/
Utilities folder.
2. Highlight your new drive and select the "Partition" tab
3. Select the new partition map type.
4. For each partition in the volume scheme, select the desired file
system format and volume name (optional)
Although it is possible to format a hard drive on Mac OS X
using the DOS file system, we do not recommend this, as
an artificial capacity limit may be imposed on the drive and
performance will be unpredictable.
5. Click the "Options" button. Select "Apple Partition Map" in the
dialog box and click "OK".
6. Click "Apply." Your DataDock II is ready to use!
