Appendix A: Creating Partitions under Windows

The following instructions show you how to create partitions on the freeStor Mini 210/310
manually using Windows XP. These partitions can be used for both backup and general file
sharing. For other operating systems, consult the user manual for that operating system.

1. Right-click “My Computer” in the start menu and select “Manage” (Figure 100).

Figure 100: My Computer Menu

2. Choose “Disk Management” (Figure 101).

3. In the bottom-right pane, find the freeStor Mini 210/310 disk. It will likely be the last disk

listed that is not a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. However, you should verify that it is the freeStor
Mini 210/310 drive and not your internal hard drive. Select a section on this drive that is
labeled “Unallocated”.
