3 FORMATTING

3.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION IF YOU PLAN ON USING YOUR DRIVE

TO BOOT ON A G3, G4, OR G5 SYSTEM

Your new external hard drive has been formatted for the Macintosh as a Mac OS X

Extended (Journaled) volume, using the GUID* Partition Table scheme. This means

that your new drive is ready to use immediately out of the box if you have an Intel

based Macintosh computer.

For your new OWC external hard drive to provide boot compatibility (meaning you

wish to run the operating system from the external drive) with Power-PC based

computers (G3, G4, G5) using Mac OS X, you will need to repartition/format the drive

and change the partition mapping from GUID to APM (Apple Partition Map**). If

you do not plan to use your new external drive as the start up drive, you do not need

to perform this procedure, your new drive will work as formatted for normal external

storage use and step by step instructions to do so are covered on the next pages of

this manual.

Notes:

*GPT (GUID Partition Table) - To use the disk as a boot volume on an Intel-based

Mac, or to use the disk as a non-boot disk with any Mac with Mac OS X version 10.4 or

later.

**APM (Apple Partition Map) - to use the disk as a boot volume on a Power-PC based

Mac, or to use the disk as a non-boot disk with any Mac. If you are using Mac OS X

10.3.9 or earlier, you must repartion and format the hard drive using this method.

Apple also has an article about repartitioning, available at:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1600

3.2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION IF YOU PLAN ON USING YOUR DRIVE

WITH A PC SYSTEM

Please turn to section 3.4 and proceed from there to reformat your drive to use with a

PC.

3.3 Formatting your OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro on a Macintosh with

Mac OS X

Open the Disk Utility application, which is located in /Applications/Utilities

Select the device with no volumes attached to it; in this picture, that would be the

320.07 GB OWC device. Click on the picture of the drive icon next to the text.

➀

OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Chapter 3 - Formatting

WARNING: This procedure will destroy ALL data on the disk you run it on!!! Be sure there is

nothing you need to keep on your drive before running any of these commands.

Once you’ve selected the OWC device, you will notice the above change in the Disk

Utility application. Click on the “Erase” tab in this picture.

You then need to name the volume that you want to format, and erase it. Name the

volume as you want, choose the Volume Format pulldown (Mac OS Extended (Jour-

naled) is default), and click the Erase button.

3.4 Removing the GUID Partition Scheme

Only for XP, 2000, ME and earlier. (XP 64-BIT, Vista & Windows 7 can continue to the next section)

➆ Type exit and hit enter.

➇ Close the command prompt window.

You may now proceed with formatting the drive.

Your new OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro is preformatted for use with a Macintosh. Un-

fortunately, this is not readable by Windows without special software. If you wish to

use your storage solution on a computer running Windows, you will need to reparti-

tion and reformat using the following instructions.

➀ Go to the DOS command prompt by selecting “Run”

from the Start Menu.

➁ Type in cmd in text box, and hit the“OK” button.

➂ Type diskpart and hit enter.

➃ Type list disk and hit enter.

➄ Type select disk x replacing x with the number of the disk you want to reformat.

(Typically, you will see an asterisk (*) under “GPT” for the disk requiring formatting.)

➅ Type clean and hit enter.

WARNING: The clean command will destroy ALL data on the disk you run it on!!! Be sure there

is nothing you need to keep on your drive before running any of these commands.
