Formatting And Partitioning Using Disk Management Utility
Disk management utility
The process of formatting a drive on a computer
running Windows 2000 or Windows XP consists of
two steps: (1) installing a signature on the drive, and
(2) formatting the drive. These steps will erase anything
that is on the disk.
Connect the drive to the computer via the interface
port.
Right click My Computer and click Manage.
From the Computer Management window, select
Disk Management (located below the Storage
group).
If the Initialize and Convert Disk Wizard window
appears, click Cancel.
Windows will list the hard drives that are installed
on the system. Locate the drive that is represented
by the icon. Right click the icon and select
Initialize.

LaCie Silverlining 98, which is available for download
from the LaCie website (see page 7 for details). Win-
dows 2000 and XP users will use the Disk Management
Utility application, which is native to the Windows op-
erating system.
