Initializing Your Hard Drive
(self installed hard drives only)
1. To initialize your hard drive, you will need to go to Disk Management in
Windows. To get to Disk Management in Windows 2000, XP and Vista, right
click “ My Computer” and click on “Manage” in the list. If you purchased
an EZ Bus Desktop that already has a hard drive, you do not need to
use this section because the drive is already formatted for FAT32.
2. Double-click on Computer Management.
3. In Computer Management, you will find Disk Management under the
Storage section. Double-click on Disk Management. Windows XP has
a wizard to initialize new hard drives and may appear at this point. If the
wizard does not appear, follow the remaining instructions.
4. You will be able to easily identify the new drive in Disk Management. The
drive will show up as Unknown and Unallocated with a red no entry
sign on the disk number. If you do not see a red no entry sign on the disk
number, skip to “Partitioning/Formatting Your Hard Drive” in the next
section.
