1. Make sure the storage device is connected to and mounted on the computer.
2. Go to Search and then type diskmgmt.msc. In the search results, double click Disk Management.
3. From the list of storage devices in the middle of the Disk Management window, locate your LaCie
device.
4. The partition must be available to format. If it is currently formatted, right click on the partion and then
choose Delete.
5. To create a new partition, right click on the volume and select New Simple Volume. Follow the on-screen
instructions when the New Simple Volume Wizard appears.
If security for the drive was disabled when you formatted, you will enable security once the
format process is complete. During the security setup sequence, you will be asked to enter your
secure code (SID). This will be the password you created previously, and not the secure code
found on the insert included with your package.
