Not sure because I running this tools on Windows 10 insider preview, the auto discovery did not work. I add the storage to the manager manually (by entering the IP address)

Since I am using the old drive, I need to clean those disk before I able to use it on the NAS

Cleaning a Hard Disk Using Windows diskpart

Using diskpart blanks the disk without putting down a write signature or partition table. This avoids potential hard drive failures resulting from disk format issues. For example, if a hard disk with a capacity larger than 2TB is formatted under Windows XP, it could fail after installation in a NAS device due to the msdos partition table.

  1. Mount the hard disk in a drive carrier and connect it to a SATA connector on a Windows-based computer.
  2. Open a command prompt and type diskpart.
  3. Type list disk to verify that the disk is recognized.

NOTE: diskpart lists hard disks by number where "0" is the OS disk. You can use Windows Disk Management to verify the number of the disk you want to clean.

  1. Type select disk #, where # identifies the disk you want to clean. For example, if you are cleaning disk 1, type select disk 1.

CAUTION! Cleaning a hard disk with diskpart will completely destroy all data on the disk. Do NOT proceed unless you are certain you have selected the correct disk!

  1. Type clean.

Once the disk is cleaned, it is ready to install in your ix or px network storage device.
