The steps listed below will help you format and partition your disk
drive using Mac OS X. Please see 3.4.2. Formatting for Window
XP Users or 3.4.3. Formatting for Windows Vista and Windows 7
Users for instructions on formatting using alternative operating
systems. For more information on the optimal file format, go to
3.4.1. File System Formats.
TECHNICAL NOTE: LaCie suggests using the Mac OS Extended
format since it may provide a more familiar experience to Macin-
tosh users.
