4.1 Partitioning
The connected hard disk(s) must be partitioned
so that the computer can read and write on them.
If this is a new unused hard disk, it has typically
not been partitioned. This can be done so as
follows:
1. Open Disk Management under Administrative
Tools -> Computer Administration in the
Windows Control Panel.
2. Highlight the hard disk's unallocated area as
shown in figure 4:
3. Right-click and select "New partition/volume".
Follow the instructions on the screen to
allocate the desired size and drive letter etc.
to the partition. We recommend selecting
primary partition, maximum possible capacity
and formatting in NTFS file format.
4. Formatting begins, after which the partition
is completed and can be accessed like any
other drive.
