5.5.4.1.1 Adding and Formatting a Partition
In order to be used, a mass storage device must first be partitioned and formatted. However,
partitioning can only be performed on unallocated disk space. If your device is already partitioned,
you may not be able to add a partition, unless unallocated space is available.
To add a Windows formatted partition, perform the following:
1. Click the ‘Storage’ menu item under the ‘Services’ tab. The ‘Disk Management’ screen
appears.
Figure 5.156 Disk Management
2. In the ‘Disks’ section, displaying your connected storage devices, click the disk’s link. The
‘Disk Information’ screen appears.
