The VHD Formatter is an application that allows you to format your Verbatim
hard drive to different hard drive formats.

Installation

will appear. Select "Software Installation" and then select "VHD Formatter".

Using the software

Attention: Before formatting your Verbatim hard drive, we recommend using


the "Save Verbatim files" option from the Verbatim start screen. This will

your local hard drive.

Formatting your hard drive EN

On a Mac system, you have two different options to format your hard drive:

Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format


HFS+ partitions can only be used on Mac systems, not on Windows systems.
Files larger than 4GB can be saved to HFS+ - formatted drives.
FAT32 format
FAT32-formatted drives are readable and writeable on Mac and PC systems.
Files larger than 4GB cannot be saved on FAT32-formatted drives.

Select one option and click on "Format". You will be notified that all your data
will be lost and if you really want to continue. Click "Yes" to continue".

If the message "There are Verbatim files on the hard drive. Do you want to keep
these files?" appears and you select this option, the Verbatim data (manuals,
software) will be copied to a temporary folder on your local hard disk and
afterwards copied back to your Verbatim Hard Drive.
A message box will appear when formatting is finished.
