Formatting The Drive; Deleting Hard Disks From The System - Medion P83780 Manual De Instrucciones

Formatting the drive

In order to remove data from the hard disk, the partitions must be formatted.
Caution!
You must be totally certain about the drive letter to enter, so that you do
not format a drive that contains data you wish to keep.
You can carry out the formatting using Windows® Explorer (right click on
the drive and select Format).

Deleting hard disks from the system

The external hard disk must be disconnected before it can be deleted, depending
on the operating system. Read how this works in the help files of your operating
system.
1. Disconnect the hard disk from the operating system.
2. Now unplug from main power and disconnect all the connection cables from
the external hard disk.
Caution!
The hard disk must not be deleted or turned off while it is being ac-
cessed. This can lead to data loss.
You can see that data is being transmitted when the LED display flashes
blue. When the LED display is constantly blue, no data is being trans-
mitted. However, you should make sure that all files that you have
opened from the hard disk (documents, etc.) have been closed again be-
fore you delete or turn off the hard disk.
