7.6 Formatting G-SPEED

Now that G-SPEED is physically connected to your computer, it must be formatted for use with your operating system.

Attention Mac OS X Users!

G-SPEED is set up at the factory for use with Mac OS X systems. If you are running Mac OS X, G-SPEED will mount on the OS X desktop right out of the box. If it becomes necessary to re-format G-SPEED

for Mac OS X, refer to your system documentation.

Attention Windows Users!

G-SPEED must be formatted using Windows Disk Manager. Please refer to your system documentation to format G-SPEED for the NTFS file system.

NOTE: Windows XP currently does not support disk volumes over 2TB in capacity (2048 GB). If your G-SPEED is larger than 2TB see section 8.3 for information on configuring G-SPEED to work around this limitation.
