Taurus - RAID User Guide

If the drive does not

appear, make sure

the drivers are

installed properly

and the power is

turned on!

Mac OS can not

write to NTFS

formatted drives. To

use your device on

both platforms, we

recommend you to

use FAT32.

If the JBOD or

RAID mode is

enabled, you will

only see one large

drive instead of two

separate hard

drives.

Partitioning & Formatting

Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the drive,

so make sure you have a backup! This step is usually only

required the first time you install a factory new hard drive, if you

change the format or want to erase all data on your drive.

PC running Windows

Disk Management Program

• Right click on “My Computer” and choose “Manage”

• Select “Disk Management”

• Choose the drive you want to format and right click on it for

further commands (Choose New Partition)

• Follow the Partition Wizard to setup the drive

For Win2000, WinXP and Windows Vista, we recommend

formatting the drive using the NTFS file system.

If you are using the FAT32 file system to format the drive on

Win2000, WinXP or Windows Vista, the biggest single partition

you can create will be 32GB. To create larger partitions, you

need to use a 3

party application or change to NTFS format.
