Partition a volume

A volume must be partitioned before you may begin using the drives under the operating

system. The following sections describe the procedures required to partition a volume.

Note :

- Follow the step-by-step instructions below to complete the HDD partitioning and formatting.

- Each HDD has to be partitioned and formatted respectively.

1. Right-click the “Computer” icon and select “Manage” from the pop-up window. From the

Computer Management window select “Disk Management” under Storage to start

formatting.

is not available, initialize the disk first. To initialize a disk, please check “Initialize a Disk” at

next section for guidance.

Note: In Windows XP, you will probably find “New Partition” instead of “New Simple Volume”.

They are basically the same concept; these two terms can be used interchangeably.

3. The “New Simple Volume Wizard” will appear. Follow the instructions to complete the

partition.

Initialize a Disk

If a New Simple Volume option is not available while right-clicking the “Unallocated” box, then

look to the left of the “Unallocated” box. Most likely you would see HDD(s) “Not Initialized”.

Initialize the HDD(s) and make sure you see “Online” before proceeding to HDD

formatting/partitioning.

1. Right-click the “Not Initialized” block to open pull-down menu.

2. Select “Initialize Disk”.

the HDD capacity does not exceed 2TB, then “MBR” option is recommended. On the other

hand, “GPT” is recommended while HDD capacity is over 2TB.

4. Online status will replace Not Initialized status when a disk is initialized and ready for disk

partitioning and formatting.
