26.4 Formatting the Hard Drive
If you replace the pre-installed hard drive, it must be formatted in order to function properly
with the system.
WARNING
Formatting the HDD erases all data on the hard disk.
This step cannot be undone.
To format the hard disk:
1. Right-click to open the Menu Bar and click the Main Menu button (
).
2. Click Device.
3. Click the checkbox under Select to choose the drive you wish to reformat.
4. Click Format HDD.
5. When the warning window appears, click OK\. Wait for the system to format the hard
drive.
Note
You will notice that the size of the HDD and the free space are not the same. The system uses a por-
tion of the disk space for the operating system and initialization. This is common in all security DVRs
as well as computer hard drives.
