About Formatting

Formatting is the process of preparing a storage device for use on your computer. To format a drive, refer to the

procedures below.

Format Types

There are several different format types, each compatible with different operating systems.

NTFS

NTFS formatting is compatible with Windows. Mac OS can read this format but not write to it. It can handle files

larger than 4 GB.

FAT32

FAT32 works with most modern operating systems including Windows and Mac OS. It doesn't support the use of

files larger than 4 GB.

Mac OS Extended

This is a format for the Mac OS only. It supports use of files that are 4 GB or larger in size. Windows doesn't

support this format.

NTFS FAT32 Mac OS Extended

Windows Both reading and writing

are supported

handle files larger than 4

recognized)

Mac OS X Only reading is supported

Notes

Never unplug the cable, reset, or turn off the computer during the formatting process.

This could result in damage to the drive or other problems. Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if the format

process was interrupted.

Formatting will erase all data on the drive. Before formatting, back up any data.

The user is responsible for any data lost due to formatting of the drive.

Don't format the wrong drive! Check the drive letter and partition name carefully. If you format the wrong drive, all

data on it will be lost.

Formatting with NTFS or FAT32

• Use a Windows computer to format drives with NTFS or FAT32. Using a Mac is not recommended for these format

types.

• Always use DiskFormatter2 to format drives with FAT32. Windows Disk Management will not format drives with

FAT32 that are larger than 32 GB.

• FAT32-formatted drives can't save or open files larger than 4 GB. Use a different file system if you work with very

large files.
