When you buy a brand new drive, you'll need to initialize it to MBR style or GPT style and then you can continue to use this disk.
To initialize disk
- When you connect the brand new disk on computer, launch Partition Assistant, in the disk map select this disk;
- By right clicking this disk select Initialize Disk;
- In the popup window set up disk style MBR or GPT, click OK;
- Click Apply button on the toolbar to commit this operation.
Note:
- If your disk is larger than 2TB, we suggest you initialize to GPT style, so that you can make full use of the disk space.
- If your disk is smaller than 2TB, initialize to MBR style will be much better.
