FORMATTING THE HARD DISK DRIVE

10. Formatting the Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive in the ND2730 should be formatted with the "FAT32" file
system. Only one (the first) partition can be used.
Do not attempt to format the ND2730 disk drive with a computer. Use only the
format function on the ND2730. This will allow the hard disk to be read by either
the Windows or Mac operating systems.
Caution
● The ND2730 can work only with one partition in the file format
"FAT32". Therefore, the ND2730 formats the hard drive in the
"FAT32 file system."
To Format a New Hard Disk
The ND2730 must not be connected to a computer via USB or FireWire 800
(IEEE 1394b). Remove any memory card or USB device.

To re-partition/format the hard disk drive, press the
control key once at the [XCopy Ready] mode to get to
the menu ("S-Menu"). Move the highlighted cursor to the

Reference
● With Windows XP, hard drives are formatted only with the file system “NTFS”—the
FAT32 option is no longer available. For MAC OS, hard drives are formatted with the
file system HFS+. NTFS and HFS+ are incompatible with the ND2730.
