Macintosh OS X Setup

The MiniStation comes pre-formatted with Windows FAT32. Your Macintosh will recognize this format so you may begin using it immediately. This format will allow for use on both Macintosh and Windows computers.

You may choose to format the drive with a Macintosh format. This is recommended if you do not plan to use the unit with any equipment other than Macintosh computers. To format in Mac OS X, Navigate to your Utilities folder and select the application Disk Utility.

Select The Buffalo Hard Drive and click the Erase button.

Follow the wizard to complete the format process. Click Erase when done.

NOTE: Formatting the drive will erase all data on the drive.
