Disk Manager
The Disk Manager button on the Storage tab home page displays the installed
hard drives in the device. This page also displays detailed information about the hard
drives, such as disk size, disk description, and status.
Drive status messages include the following:
•
Good—Indicates the hard drive is accessible and functioning normally.
•
Failed—Indicates a fatal error has occurred on the hard drive(s). See “Replacing
a Drive (My Book World Edition II)” on page 169 for drive replacement
instructions.
•
Foreign—Indicates the device has detected a hard drive that was used on
another computer.
To clean up disk:
If the hard drive is foreign or used, the Clean Disk
icon appears on the right side
of the Disk Management table. Clean Disk erases the previous partition to allow
creation of a new volume.
To safely remove disk:
If the hard drive is not part of an existing volume, the Safely Remove Disk
icon
appears on the right side of the Disk Management table and allows you to safely
remove the drive.
