iZak™ User Guide
Recovery Procedure
iZak™ is provided to you with preformatted hard disk
(NTFS) and default directory structure as shown in the
adjacent snap-shot.
In case of accidental loss of this directory structure,
follow the next steps in order to recover:
Verify
Be absolutely sure that you don’t have any files in the
“Music”, “Movies”, and “Pictures” directories. In case you
have files we suggest you to backup them before
formatting.
Format iZak™ (PC)
The following steps describe the procedure in Windows XP or Windows 2K.
Run the windows Explorer and select the iZak external hard disk.
Right click on it and select “Format”
The following dialogue will appear. Select the respective file system
NTFS, enter the volume label, click on “Quick Format” and press
Start.
In a few seconds the volume will be formatted and you will be ready
to copy the recovery files.
You can also format iZak™ as FAT32 but this will have the limitation
of max disk being 32GB and max file size being 4GB.
Format iZak™ (Mac)
When attached iZak to your Mac system,
it will be immediately recognized and will
appear onto the desktop.
Run the Disk Utility, select the iZak™
volume (in the adjacent figure it is
depicted an example with 40GB HDD)
and click on “Erase”. The Disk Utility will
make new partition of the volume.
