Using the Storage Device

Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using brand new hard drives that do not contain any data, or after changing

between RAID Modes, then you will first need to prepare the hard drive for use before

you can write data to them. From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer”

(“Computer” in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management

window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.

Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity to confirm it’s

the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that says “Unallocated” and

select “New Partition”.
