Need to reformat my Seagate GoFlex 500gb. Has to let Dish format it to copy from one Hopper to new Hopper. I would like to turn it back into a GoFlex. Running Win 7 on Dell. In Control Panel>System and Security>Admin Tools>Computer Mgmt>Disk Mgmt...Disk 1 shows no assigned Drive:.. 2 partitions (one 1.0gb next 464.76gb) both healthy(Primary Partition).
Do I need to remove volume from both partitions ? Then I can assign a drive (shouldn't assigning be automatic ?) Then I can format ? Then I can copy everything I saved before formatting ?
Just want to make sure of the steps before I completely turn it into a night light/paper weight.
Follow up, should it be in NTFS or FAT32, which is best ? and Do I need to partition.
Thanks to all,
Scot
