Partitioning and Formatting

Partitioning

Partitioning allows you to take one large drive and make it into multiple smaller
drives. Partitioning requires formatting the drive and will erase all data if any
exists on the drive.

1. To partition the QS2, plug the drive into your computer, then right click on

the My computer icon (this icon may also be located in the Start Menu on
some Windows XP) systems and choose Manage to open Computer
Management
.

2. Locate Disk Management below the Storage submenu on the left side of

the window. The right side of the window will update, showing you a list of
all the drives connected to your system.

3. Locate the Kanguru QS2 in the bottom half of the Window. In order to

partition the drive you will have to delete the current partition by right
clicking on the status bar (see below) to the right of the disk and choosing
Delete partition. Next to create a new partition, right click on the status
bar and choose New Partition.

4. The New Partition Wizard will appear to create the new partition. Follow

the on screen instructions to complete the partition and formatting
process.
