Instruction Manual

Initializing the Hard Drive

1. If the SATA Hard Drive is blank it may need to be initialized and formatted before

use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in

Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select

Disk Management from the left window panel.

2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or “GPT” disk. GPT (GUID partition) is required for drives larger than 2TB but

is not compatible with some older operating systems, while MBR is supported by

newer and older operating systems.

3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

4. Several on screen prompts will follow walking you through the steps to create the

partition. Follow these prompts to complete partition creation.
