Rosewill RX30 - Manual (Page 13)

If you want to use
your drive on a PC
running Microsoft
Windows as well as
on your Mac, we
recommend you to
use a PC to format
the drive. Choose
FAT32 when
formatting and do
not change
anything on the
partition or format
on your Mac,
otherwise the PC
will not be able to
recognize the drive
anymore.
If you can not see
the drive, make
sure the jumper
settings of your
hard drive are
correct, there are
no extension
conflicts and the
power is turned on!
Mac OS:
Mac OS9.2 and earlier, does not support creating partitions on
an external drive. To do that, you would need to purchase
additional 3
rd
party software, connect the drive to the internal
IDE bus or upgrade to OS X. Initializing the drive can be done
on all Operating Systems.
For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create
partitions on your external disk.
• Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder
• Choose your external drive and format it according to your
requirement
