If this section does not appear, there are no available drives. • Exportable Units lists the existing units, along with the drives contained in each. These are the units that will be available to the operating system when you boot your computer. If this section does not appear, no units have been configured. If you have more than one unit, the boot unit is the one at the top of the list.
