    • I'm about to remove the temporary 2TB internal hdd with a 10TB unit.
    • I note in File Manager it treats my internal drive as USB ? and I have the option to format it as well as unmount.
    • So does this mean I can now format my new 10TB drive in the Zidoo or do I still have to do it externally?
    • I'm thinking the ability to format in the Zidoo is restricted to a memory stick but then it offers me the option to do so on a WD 2TB hdd?
    So could a wise Zidoo guru clarify?

    I guess whatever I need to unmount my internal drive, turn the power off and remove.

    There are 2 folders existing on this drive
    Storage and the other containing movies/tv

    Never tried/trusted using any Android tools for formatting my HDD's. Frankly I prefer Windows to do the job as I move my HDD''s around a lot using many players and Windows.

    Doing it the proven method it never fails: SATA attached in W10 PC with GPT+NTFS using a single partition.

    You may try it and let us know. Also can always redo it the right way next.
