Windows only - clean the hard drives Since the hard drives are formatted for Mac (HFS+), all partitions must be erased, including the EFI partition. Windows Disk Management cannot erase the EFI partition so you must run Diskpart, a separate Windows utility. For additional information on Diskpart, click here. Important info: Cleaning hard drives is data destructive. If you have data on the LaCie 2big, LaCie recommends that you back up all files before following the steps below. The steps below are illustrated using a standard hard drive enclosure with two hard drives. The images may not represent your product. 1. Diskpart will delete and format any hard drive that you select. Therefore, to avoid deleting data on other devices, disconnect all external hard drives from your PC except the LaCie 2big. LaCie is not responsible for lost data. Diskpart cannot delete the System disk. 2. Connect the LaCie product to your Windows computer via the included USB 3.0 cable (see Getting Connected ). If necessary, turn the device on (see LEDs and LED Power Button). 3. Search for and launch Diskpart. LaCie 2big Thunderbolt 2 User Manual 22
