Appendix A — USB-IDE Hard Disk Drive Preparation

5 Appendix A — USB-IDE Hard Disk Drive Preparation

5.1 Preparing the USB-IDE hard disk drive in Windows 2000

NOTE:

Preparing a USB-IDE hard disk drive under Windows XP is almost identical to Windows 2000.

1. Connect the USB-IDE hard disk drive to your computer using the USB Cable.

2. Turn on your computer.

3. The USB device icon should display on the Taskbar.

4. If the USB-IDE hard disk drive is partitioned or has data, it will show up in My

Computer as a hard disk drive icon. Check the file system by right clicking on

the icon and checking under Properties > General > File System. If the file

system is NOT FAT32 format, format the USB-IDE hard disk drive using the

FAT32 format.

5. If the USB-IDE hard disk drive is not partitioned, go to Administrative Tools in

Control Panel and launch Computer Management. Open Disk Management

in Storage and right click an unallocated region of the USB-IDE hard disk

drive. Then, click Create Partition.

6. In the Create Partition wizard, click Next then Primary Partition, and follow the

instructions on the screen. Make sure that the FAT32 is selected for the file

system.

NOTE:

The partition size should be less than 32 GB because of Microsoft limitations.

After formatting is complete, the USB-IDE hard disk drive will be added to My

Computer.

7. Connect the USB-IDE hard disk drive to the DVR.
