This article shows different ways how to format and setup your hard drive (create a partition), if installed in an external enclosure connected through USB or Firewire. Explanations are separated by Operating System; Windows 2000/XP, Mac OS, Windows 98SE/ME.
Prior to the steps below, you will have to install the hard drive (Jumper Settings to "Master" or "Factory Default"), prepare your enclosure, connect it to your host computer and turn on the power and device. Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the hard drive, so make sure you have a backup! These steps are usually only required the first time you install the hard drive, if you have a factory new hard drive or if you want to change the partition or format. |
