21

Connect EH-25MP to a PC

Formatting the HDD with a PC

If the HDD is not formatted and installed to EH-25MP, a PC
cannot detect the HDD until it is formatted. It is suggested to
format the HDD first. Follow the procedure to use the Disk
Management Utility to format your 2,5” HDD first.

Right click on “My Computer” and choose “Manage”
Select “Disk Management”
Select the hard disk drive you want to format. If the hard

drive is formatted for the first time, click on the grey field on
the left side to initialize the hard disk drive.

Click on the empty field on the right side to create a
partition and choose “New partition”

During “New partition wizard” procedure, you must select
“primary partition”. On selection of “Disk partition size”
(MB), enter the disk partition size you prefer.

It is necessary to format the HDD with the FAT32 file
system, EH-25MP currently only supports FAT32 and can
not support any HDD with the NTFS** file system. You
must select a partition size less than 32GB (32.768 MB)
for the FAT32 system. If you select a disk partition size

higher than 32.768 MB (32GB), the hard drive will be
formatted to the NTFS** system which EH-25MP currently
cannot support yet.

Go to “My Computer” and the new hard drive should
appear.
For a detailed HDD format procedure, please refer to the
HDD manufacturer’s information or the Windows help files.

FAT32 can be used on most operating systems,
including Windows XP/ME/2000/98/SE, Mac OS 10.0, Mac
OS X. The only restriction if formatted on Windows XP/2000 is

that the largest size for a single partition has to be 32GB or
smaller.
To create a single partition larger then 32GB (using
FAT32), it has to be done with Windows ME.
With Windows XP/ME/2000/98/SE, Mac OS 10.0 or
higher, MAC OS X, if the HDD is formatted to the FAT32 file
system format, please note that, according to the rule of FAT32,
the maximum disk partition size is limited to 32GB
(32,768MB). This means that you have to divide the HDD into
several disk partitions if the capacity of the HDD is higher than
32GB.

23

EH-25MP supports a maximum partition amount of
four (4) per HDD. EH-25MP supports a maximum disk
capacity of 128GB (32GB per partition x 4 partitions).

Connect EH-25MP to a PC
(Windows XP/ME/2000)

There is no need to install any driver before connecting
EH-25MP to a PC.
 Use the supplied USB cable to connect EH-25MP to the
USB port of the PC.
Although PCs can provide a certain amount of power to
EH-25MP through the USB cable, it cannot be guaranteed
that the supplied power from the PC is good enough or stable
enough to make EH-25MP work properly.
Normally the USB port provides enough power to power
on EH-25MP. However, it depends on the USB port of your
PC. If your PC cannot power on EH-25MP, it is recommended
to connect the supplied AC power adapter to EH-25MP.
 When EH-25MP is connected to PC, a new HDD volume
