Formatting a hard drive in Windows (please note that this procedure requires admin access).
1. Open Disk Management
The first thing you need to do is open Disk Management, the tool that's
used to manage drives in Windows. Opening Disk Management can be
done a number of ways depending on your version of Windows, but the
easiest way is to hold the “windows” key and press “R”. This command will
open the dialog box where you can enter diskmgmt.msc . Disk
management will now open and you can start formatting the disk.
2. Initialise disk
Disk initialisation will most likely pop up automatically. If not please right click on the icon and a wizard will take you further.
3.
Partitionandformatdisk
Once Disk Management opens, which might take several seconds, look for
the new drive from the list.
Important: KryptoDisk is a new hard drive that needs to be partitioned
before use. In Windows, partitioning needs to be done before a hard drive
can be formatted. The KryptoDisk will probably be on a dedicated row
labelled Disk 1 (or 2, etc.) and will say Unallocated.
Tap-and-hold or right-click anywhere on it and choose New Simple Volume.
Tap or click Next > on the New Simple Volume Wizard window that
appears.
Tap or click Next > on the Specify Volume Size step to confirm the size of
the drive you're creating.
Tap or click Next > on the Assign Drive Letter or Path step
Windows will now partition the drive, a process that will only take a few
seconds on most computers. In Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7
you will be asked to format the disk.
NTFS is the most recent file system available for windows systems, and
recommended if you only intend to use your disk with Windows computers. If
you want to move data between computers with different operating systems,
e.g. Mac or Linux computers, select exFAT.
In the Allocation unit size: textbox, choose Default.
Next is the perform a quick format checkbox. Windows will check this box by
default, suggesting that you do a "quick format“.
The final format option is the enable file and folder compression setting that
we recommend to keep unchecked.
Volume label: [label of your choosing]
File system: NTFS
Allocation unit size: Default
Perform a quick format
Enable file and folder compression - keep unchecked
Formatting a hard drive on Mac.
Launch Disk Utility, located in /Applications/Utilities.
1. Initialise disk
Disk initialisation will most likely pop up automatically. If not please click on the
disk icon and a wizard will take you further.
2. Partition and format disk
From the left-hand pane, which contains a list of drives and volumes connected
to your Mac, select the drive you wish to format. Click the Erase button at the
top of the Disk Utility window, or select Erase from the Edit menu.
A panel will drop down, warning you that erasing the selected drive will destroy
all data on the drive. It will also allow you to name the new volume you're about
to create. Select the format type and partition map scheme to use
In the Erase panel, enter the new name for the volume you're about to create.
In the Erase panel, use the drop-down Format field and select the following:
MAC OS X Extended (Journaled)
MAC OS X Extended (Journaled) is the default macOS file system, and thus
recommended if you only intend to use your disk with Mac computers. If you
want to move data between computers with different operating systems, e.g.
Windows or Linux computers, select exFAT.
In the Erase panel, use the drop-down Scheme field to select the partition map
type:
GUID Partition Map
Master Boot Record
Apple Partition Map
GUID Partition Map is the default selection and will work for all Macs using
Intel processors. The other two choices are for specific needs that, once again,
we won’t be going into at this time. Make your selection.
In the Erase panel, after you have made all of your selections, click the Erase
button.
Disk Utility will erase and format the selected drive, resulting in a single volume
being created and mounted on your Mac’s desktop.
Click the Done button.
