V. Formatting Hard Drives
Introduction
If the hard drive(s) connected to the SeriTek/2SE2-E are not formatted for use with Windows,
they will not be recognized. This procedure explains how to format your hard drives. Be
careful not to inadvertently delete partitions you use with other systems, such as a Macintosh
computer.
Caution:
Please make sure your data is backed up before attempting to format or change the
partition layout of your hard drives.
