 Unmount the partition with umount /dev/partition, e.g. umount /dev/sdb1 (if not already unmounted)[[BR]]
 
-At this point, you either need to make a Linux format disk (ext3) for hyperspectral data or a Windows format disk (NTFS, not FAT32) for all other data types.

-Partition and format the disk (command line)
- 1. Run fdisk /dev/DEVICE_NAME (not partition)
- 1. enter 'p' to print partition table and check you have selected the correct disk
- 1. enter 'd' to delete the current partition (delete them all)
- 1. enter 'n' to create a new partition
- 1. enter 'p' to make new partition the primary partition. If it asks you to give a partition number press 1 and enter. Then press enter twice to fill the whole disk.
- 1. enter 'p' to print new partition table – if all seems fine enter 'w' to write
- 1. To be on the safe side, run dmesg again to make sure device name hasn't changed. You should now see the partition listed as device_name1, e.g. sdb1
- 1. Unmount the partition if it remounted.
- 1. Run `mke2fs -j /dev/partition`
-
-Remount and fix permissions:
- 1. Unplug the disk and plug back in. The disk space should be located under /media/disk.
- 1. It is wise to check that this destination is correct: 'df /media/disk' to check that this is where the device is mounted.
- 1. Make writable for everyone using chmod a+rwx /media/disk
-
-== Copy over your data onto the disk ==
-
-Copy the delivery folder to /media/disk.
-
-== Finalising hard disk ==
-
-Set permissions and owner:
-
-chmod a+rX,a-w -R /media/disk [[BR]]
-chown root.root -R /media/disk
-
-NOTE: Be sure to record the number of the hard disk (or giving it one if it does not yet have one) before packing it.
