Formatting

NTFS is suitable for use with modern Windows computers.
To divide the DriveStation into multiple partitions, consult the "Format/Maintenance
Guide" on your Navigator CD.
A Linux-compatible format will be required if the DriveStation will be
connected to a TeraStation. Consult the TeraStation's user manual for
more information.
• Never turn off or reset the computer or TeraStation during the formatting process.
This can damage the drive or result in other problems. This can also cause later operations to fail to
be executed properly.
• When the hard drive is formatted, all data contained on the drive is lost. Before formatting, be
sure to carefully check the operating environment of the hard drive one more time.
The customer assumes all responsibility for the hard drive formatting process.
To ensure that you do not accidentally erase important data or programs, back up your data.
