Initialize Disk

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

  1. When you connect the brand new disk on computer, launch Partition Assistant, in the disk map select this disk;
  2. By right clicking this disk select Initialize Disk;
  3. In the popup window set up disk style MBR or GPT, click OK;
  4. Click Apply button on the toolbar to commit this operation.
Note:
  1. 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.
  2. If your disk is smaller than 2TB, initialize to MBR style will be much better.
