Using the Enclosure
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data, then you
will rst need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the main desktop, right-click
on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista), then select Manage. In the new Computer
Management window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.
Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity to conrm it’s
the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and
select “New Partition”.
The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to
complete setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as “Healthy”
with a drive letter assigned (ie. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My
Computer.
If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it
in, the drive should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My
Computer.
