Disk Formatter Utility – The Disk Formatter Utility main dialog 
box contains information regarding your system’s drives and partitions.  
When launched, the program displays your system drive, giving you the 
ability to alter some of the partition information on your main drive. 
WARNING:  Please use extreme caution when using the Disk 
Formatter Utility.  When launched, it shows all hard drives on the PC, 
including the main boot drive (the one that contains the partition “C:”).  
Do not modify the main boot drive!  Only use this utility to modify the 
external hard drive with the name “USB-HS...”
Select the ‘USB-HS...’ drive from the pull down menu.  This is your 
DriveStation.  It is not recommended that the Disk Formatter Utility be 
run on any disks except the DriveStation.
Once the proper disk has been selected, place the cursor over the 
purple partition and click.  If more then one color is there, then more 
then one partition exists.  In this case, click on the partition you want to 
modify.
