CLAIMING FOREIGN DISK FORSIMPLESHARE

Claiming a disk places the disk under the exclusive control of SimpleShare and allows you to manage the disk using SimpleShare Administrator. Once SimpleShare claims a disk it is no longer readable by Windows or Mac OS computers and any data that existed on the drive is destroyed.

Claiming a disk destroys the data on the disk. If you have important data on the drive, create a backup.
