If the drive does not appear, make sure the drivers are installed properly and the power is on.
Mac OS can not write to NTFS formatted drives. To use your device on both platforms, we recommend using FAT32.
When using the BIG, FAST or SAFE mode, only one volume will be visible instead of two separate drives.
To access volumes over 2TB, a 64 bit Operating System is required.

Partitioning & Formatting
Be aware that this will destroy all your existing data on the drive, so make sure you have a backup! This step is usually only required the first time you install a factory new hard drive, if you change the RAID mode or want to erase all data on your drive.
PC running Windows
For Windows, use the disk management program:
•Right click on “My Computer” and choose “Manage”
•Select “Disk Management”
•Choose the drive you want to format and right click on it for further commands (Choose New Partition)
•Follow the Partition Wizard to setup the drive
For Win2000, WinXP and Windows Vista, we recommend formatting the drive using the NTFS file system.
If you are using the FAT32 file system to format the drive on Win2000, WinXP or Windows Vista, the biggest single partition you can create will be 32GB. To create larger partitions, you need to use a 3rd party application or change to NTFS format.
