YOUR DISK MANAGEMENT UTILITY

In Windows, they call it "Disk Management". In Mac, they call it "Disk Utility". Despite having different names

and appearances, both Windows Disk Management and Mac Disk Utility do basically the same thing: they allow

you to create, modify and delete any storage volume connected to your computer.

In order to get the most out of your

management utility. Please refer to a detailed glossary on our website of the terms and explanations of the

functions and procedures you will need to understand [http://www.cavalrystorage.com/manuals.aspx]. It's

generally a good idea to keep your disk management utility continuously open while you are setting up your

and the disks within it.

How to Find Your Disk Management Utility

Windows: Navigate to Disk Management: Start Menu>right-click (My) Computer>select "Manage">select

Disk Management.

Mac: Click an empty space on your Desktop. Then select (from the top of the screen) Go>Utilities>Disk

Utility.

"Seeing" Your New Disk in the Disk Management Utility

In Mac, this is a pretty straight-forward affair. Just look at the left-hand column, and search for a newly added disk

with the term "DMI" or "USB" in it's title.

Windows arbitrarily assigns a "Disk Number" to every new disk that is connected; even if the disk does NOT

show up in (My) Computer. "Disk 0" is always your system or C: drive. Your Cavalry drive will appear

somewhere beneath Disk 0. It will be given a number, like Disk 1 et al. You will probably only be able to

recognize it by its size, which will be a little bit less than the quoted drive size. If a connected disk does not appear

here, the disk is probably defective. See the troubleshooting FAQ for details.

Windows:

Navigate to Disk Management: Start Menu>right-click (My) Computer>select

"Manage">select Disk Management.

Once in Disk Management, look for your drives in the bottom-right window. You may have to scroll

down to find it. The disk(s) will most easily be recognized by their size. Ex.: If you are initializing

a 1 TB drive, look for a drive that is close to the same size; like 931.51 GB. Once you've found it,

take note of the disk number.

If the Initialization Wizard does not appear, right-click the disk number, and then select the "Initial-

ize" option. If this option is not available, click the white box immediately to the right and select

"New Partition" for XP and "New Simple Volume" for Vista/ 7.

Select "MBR/Primary Partition" and "NTFS" for XP, or for drives that are smaller than 1TB. For

later versions of Windows (7 and Vista), select "GPT/GUID" and "NTFS", or for drives that are

larger than 1 TB. Caution! GPT/GUID is not compatible with Windows XP!

, you will need to become intimately familiar with your disk
