Next Steps
If you have installed a new disk drive in your enclosure, you must
prepare it for use by initializing and formatting it, so that your
computer can recognize and communicate with it.
Caution: If you’ve used the disk drive previously and want to
preserve the data on it, do not initialize and format the disk
drive or you’ll erase all the data on it. Refer to your operating
system documentation for more information.
The process of initializing and formatting a new disk drive differs
by operating system. Refer to your operating system
documentation for instructions on completing these tasks.
Note: For technical assistance with the initialization and
formatting process, please contact Microsoft (Windows users)
or Apple (Macintosh users).
