3.1. Finding the File System Format

You may need to know the current ﬁle system format of your

LaCie hard disk if:

You want to reformat your LaCie hard disk. The current

ﬁle system format may determine the process you’ll use to

reformat it.

The LaCie hard disk does not appear to mount on your

computer. In this case, the ﬁle system format may prevent

your operating system from recognizing the LaCie hard

disk (ex. If you connect a hard disk formatted in HFS+ to

a Windows computer).

✦

Windows Users

Right-click My Computer and select Manage from the

right-click options menu. The Computer Management

window opens.

Select Disk Management under Storage (you may

have to expand the Storage list to see the Disk Man-

agement option). Information about all storage devices

connected to your computer appears in the right hand

pane.

Find the disk corresponding to your LaCie hard disk.

NOTE: “Disk 0” is your computer’s internal hard disk. If

other storage devices are connected to your computer,

refer to the disk information in the upper pane to deter-

mine which disk is your LaCie hard disk.

The File System column in the upper pane lists the

ﬁle system of each disk. Disks are listed as “NTFS”,

“FAT32” or blank (if the ﬁle system format is not recog-

nizes, such as if it is HFS+).

Mac Users

Select Utilites from the Go menu in Finder.

Open Disk Utility.

In the disk list on the left side of the Disk Utility window,

ﬁnd the disk corresponding to your LaCie hard disk.

Each disk has at least two listings, one representing the

device itself and one representing each partition on the

disk. Select one of the lower, indented partitions.

Refer to the Format line of the information area at the

bottom of the Disk Utility window.
