Disk Utilities (Menu 5)

The TD2u offers several utilities to assist with the processing of drives. These utilities can be
found in Menu 5.

Format (Menu 5.1)

When using disk-to-file imaging, the destination drive must be formatted with a file system
that is recognizable by the TD2u. The TD2u only supports formatting drives with the exFAT
filesystem. However, the TD2u will also accept destination disks that are formatted as FAT32.
The FAT32 file size limit is 4 GB. The exFAT file size limit is 16 EB (16,000,000 TB). When file sizes
are larger than 4 GB, exFAT should be used.
From the formatting menu you can manually format either the destination disk or a USB mass
storage device attached to one of the TD2u USB ports.
1. From the Main menu, use the arrow keys to navigate to
to Format (Menu 5.1).
