I have just had a look on google and it seems there is no way from a menu or anything, you have to take the lid off to see what the drive says. There does not appear to be another way. Also do not assume that whatever size that is shown is the size it has been formatted for as apparently the original software would not allow the use of the full space if over a certain size. | |||
