☆ Refer to “Initialize a Disk” section if this is required for some brand new HDD/SSD
Partition a volume
A volume must be partitioned before you may begin using the drives under the operating
system. The following sections describe the procedures required to partition a volume.
Note :
- Follow the step-by-step instructions below to complete the HDD partitioning and formatting.
- Each HDD has to be partitioned and formatted respectively.
1. Right-click the “Computer” icon and select “Manage” from the pop-up window. From the
Computer Management window select “Disk Management” under Storage to start
formatting.

2. Right-click “Unallocated” and select “New Simple Volume”. If a New Simple Volume option
is not available, initialize the disk first. To initialize a disk, please check “Initialize a Disk” at
next section for guidance.
Note: In Windows XP, you will probably find “New Partition” instead of “New Simple Volume”.
They are basically the same concept; these two terms can be used interchangeably.
3. The “New Simple Volume Wizard” will appear. Follow the instructions to complete the
partition.

Initialize a Disk
If a New Simple Volume option is not available while right-clicking the “Unallocated” box, then
look to the left of the “Unallocated” box. Most likely you would see HDD(s) “Not Initialized”.
Initialize the HDD(s) and make sure you see “Online” before proceeding to HDD
formatting/partitioning.
1. Right-click the “Not Initialized” block to open pull-down menu.
2. Select “Initialize Disk”.

the HDD capacity does not exceed 2TB, then “MBR” option is recommended. On the other
hand, “GPT” is recommended while HDD capacity is over 2TB.
4. Online status will replace Not Initialized status when a disk is initialized and ready for disk
partitioning and formatting.
