Partition and Format the External Hard Drive as FAT32 (if applicable)

• First, plug your hard drive into your PC and determine if it needs to be formatted by checking the current Format\File-System of the drive.
  • Open "This PC" or "My Computer", right-click the external hard drive you want to use, then select "Properties".
    • If "This PC" or "My Computer" is not on the desktop it can be accessed using the ⊞ Win+E keyboard combination.
  • Make note of the Drive Letter of the external hard drive as this will be important later.
  • If the "File-System" is already FAT32, you can skip this step.
• If you have anything saved on the hard drive, you should back it up now as all the data will be lost once you format it.
