Claiming a disk places the disk under the exclusive control of
SimpleShare and allows you to manage the disk using
SimpleShare Administrator. Once SimpleShare claims a disk
it is no longer readable by Windows or Mac OS computers and
any data that existed on the drive is destroyed.

2 Select Show Disk Details.

disk you want to claim.
Claiming a disk destroys the data on the disk. If you have
important data on the drive, create a backup.
