Formatting and Slicing Devices

You can format, name, and create file systems in a single operation on all types of removable devices using the format option in the Removable Media Manager window.

When the formatting process begins, two separate actions are launched. The first is a low level format of the device, which utilizes a status bar to update you on the percentage completed. When the format is complete, the second action is launched which applies the file system and optional name and slices to the device.
