Performing Data Backup
Backing up your data is best defined by the keeping duplicate
copies of your files on a separate storage device. It is always a
good idea to keep important data in at least two different places.
We recommend that you obtain and use a quality backup software
application if the basic program that come with your operating
system is not robust enough for your particular purposes.
Formatting
Your GForce MegaDisk
The GForce MegaDisk comes preformatted at the factory with the
FAT32 file system, which will mount on most modern operating
systems. FAT32 has some limitations, and we recommend you
reformat the volume to a file system format more compatible with
your particular computer and operating system environment.
Formatting a hard drive erases all data contained on the
drive. If you wish to reformat your Fantom Drives External
Hard drive, be sure to create a copy of the files you wish to
keep before reformatting.
Formatting the drive in Mac OS X
1. Launch the Disk Utility application (Disk Utility is located in
the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). The Disk Utility
window will open with a small sub-window at left and a larger sub-
window with a series of tabs at the top.
2. You should see the drive listed in the left sub-window. Click on
the drive to highlight it; if you see two icons for the drive, select
the uppermost (root) instance. Information about the drive will
appear in the Information sub-window.
3. Click on the Erase tab. In the Erase sub-window you will see a
Volume Format pop-up menu and a Name field.
4. In the Volume Format pop-up, select the format type (MacOS
Extended is recommended.)
Although it is possible to format a hard drive on Mac OS X
using the DOS file system, we do not recommend this, as
an artificial capacity limit may be imposed on the drive and
performance will be unpredictable.
5. Click Erase. You should see an alert pop up with the message:
“Erasing a disk will destroy all information on all of the volumes of
the disk…” Click Erase. Once initializing is complete, you should see
the drive listed in the left sub-window of the Disk Utility screen. Quit
Disk Utility. You should now see the drive icon on the Desktop.
