- Please check the link below, it will give you the needed information to use a previously formatted disk to your NAS:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... -6-desktop - If you just stick the disk in with the nas on it should be formatted by the nas, regardless of how it is currently formatted.
It used to be that way, but i believe OS6 added a format step because too many people assumed their NTFS-formatted disk would be preserved (and lost data).vandermerwe wrote: If you just stick the disk in with the nas on it should be formatted by the nas, regardless of how it is currently formatted.
In any event, you can just insert the disk as vandermerwe says. Then check the volume tab of the web admin GUI (selecting the new disk). If you need to format, the format button on the right should be enabled.
