Before your new Mercury Elite Pro Dual can be put to use, it needs to be formatted. To help
with the formatting process, the OWC Drive Guide formatting utility has been installed on
your Mercury Elite Pro Dual. Follow these steps to use Drive Guide to format your Mercury
Elite Pro Dual for Mac OS X (10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later):
1. Connect your drive to your computer using the proper cable, then turn on your drive. If
you prefer to use a different formatting utility, do so at this time and skip the rest of these
instructions.
2. Your drive will show up as “OWC HD”. Open your drive to view its contents.
3. Open the “Macintosh Setup” or “Windows Setup” folder, depending on your computer’s
operating system, then double-click the Drive Guide application.
