5. Hard Drive Usage

Now you are ready to use the attached hard drive as an external storage device. A brand new hard drive must be formatted and partitioned first. You can use Windows Disk Management utility in Windows XP/2000, Mac built-in partition utility, or other disk management software as required to perform disk-related tasks. Please refer to your software documentation for instructions.

You can read and write files to and from the hard drive as you would with an ordinary hard drive.
