1. When the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 is turned on, the pre-scan function

detects the unformatted disk and prompts you to start formatting.

(4) partitions. Specify the size of the partitions in megabytes and
click Apply to start formatting.

4. Once formatting is complete, click Save&Restart to restart the

system. The browser window displays the status while the ASUS
WL-HDD2.5 restarts. Wait till the screen is refreshed before using
the system.

3. A message is displayed on the screen to warn you that formatting

will erase all data on the disk. Click OK to continue. Formatting
of the hard disk begins and the browser window displays the
formatting status.
