The Linux computer is under the desk.

This computer is not on the internet so you will have to connect your hard

drive with the DCP on it to the computer directly via USB.

Go to Applications

You will have to re enter the password

Go to the upper left and choose the correct drive to format

In this case we choose the 29.08 gig drive

Next right click and choose >Format to>ext2,ext3 or ext4

The formatting takes a while. A 30 gig USB will take about 10 to 15 minutes.


Access permissions must be assigned to the drive.

Select the drive in the sidebar to access the name of the drive that appears in the top of the "finder" window highlighted with the square in this frame grab

Right click the drive in the side bar to get the properties

Open terminal

sudo chmod 777 and type in the following:
sudo chmod 777 /media/cmb4112/ (followed by the name of your drive)

Use the name of the drive shown in the properties of the above example.

Here is an example:

sudo chmod 777 /media/cmb4112/6ebcdf21-f950-432d-b05c-32361936626d  (or the name of your particular drive don't use this example)

the computer.
