Setting up on a PC
When your new hard drive is connected to your
1
Windows Vista computer and turned on, you may notice
nothing at all, or a small message may appear saying that
Windows Vista is installing device driver software. Either
may be the case, since Windows handles new, unformat-
ted drives in several different ways.
When the enclosure is connected to your computer, you
2
should run the computer management software built
into Windows. Click Start, right-click Computer, then
click Manage.
Click in the Disk Management section. After a few
3
moments, all disks connected to the system appear in
the list.
Right-click on the disk named "Unknown" that matches
4
the capacity of the hard drive you installed into the
enclosure, then click Initialize. Accept the defaults, then
click OK.
Setting up on a Mac
When your new hard drive is connected to your Mac and
1
powered on, a "Disk Insertion" notice opens. Click
Initialize, and the Disk Utility opens.
Identify the new hard drive.
2
Click Partition and select a volume scheme that matches
3
how you want to use your hard drive. Most users choose
a single partition (1 partition).
Type the name you want to give this new storage volume
4
(if any), then select the type of format you want to give
the disk. Most Mac users will select the native Mac file
system.
Make sure that the size matches the hard drive you
5
installed, click Partition, then click Partition again to
confirm. You are now ready to store files on your new
hard drive.
Multiple operating systems
Note: If you want to use this storage device on multiple
operating systems (such as Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux),
then you may want to format it with a cross-platform file
system, such as FAT32. Windows cannot format large
volumes using FAT32, but you can format it using
third-party disk utilities or the built-in tools on Mac OS X
or Linux systems. For more information, visit our Web site.
