Preparing a Drive
Windows® OS
If the installed Drive has data on it, The Drive will appear under
My Computer or Computer with a drive letter assigned to it. If
you install a brand-new Drive that does not contain any data,
you must prepare the Drive for use.
Warning! When you complete the following steps, all of the
data on the Drive will be deleted.
1. Depending on the version of OS that you are running, do
one of the following:
• On your desktop, right-click My Computer and click
Manage.
• On your desktop, right-click Computer and click Manage.
• Click the Start button or Windows icon. Enter compmgmt.
msc and press Enter.
2. On the Computer Management screen, click Disk
Management.
3. A Dialog screen will appear that asks you to initialize the
Drive. Depending on the version of Windows that you’re
running, you have the option to create either an MBR or a
GPT disk.
Note: GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives that are
larger than 2 TB, but GPT isn’t compatible with some earlier
versions of operating systems. MBR is supported by both
earlier and later versions of operating systems.
