CAUTION: Following these steps will erase everything from the hard drive. If you have information that you want to protect or con- tinue to use, back up this information before performing these steps.

7.In the Volume Information section, enter a name for each volume (partition), and choose a file system (Mac OS Extended or MS-DOS) from the drop-down menu (Fig. 95).

IMPORTANT INFO: Do not choose Mac OS Extended (Jour- naled), as this file system is incompatible with the LaCinema HD Connect.
