Appendix B: Partition and Format In order for your operating system to recognize and work with the disk drives attached to your FastTrak SX Series RAID Controller card, the drives must be partitioned and formatted. • If your drives were previously partitioned and formatted they are ready to use and you can skip this procedure • If your drives have not been partitioned and formatted, you must do that job before you can use them The actions of partitioning and formatting create a file structure on the disk drives with which your operating system can work. In the example below, we show how this is done in Windows. A similar procedure is required for Linux PC's. However, partitioning and formatting in Linux is unautomated, therefore please refer to your system documentation for the exact procedure. Note If you plan to boot your computer from this logical disk, go to Windows and Device Driver Installation under the Installation section for instructions. The instructions here are for data logical disks only. 1. From the desktop, right-click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the popup menu. The Computer Management window opens. 2. From the left menu, click on Disk Management. The Disk Management window opens with your new logical disk identified as Disk 1. The Initialize Wizard appears automatically. 105
