Yes. That's the only way I can format it. The DNS-120 will not allow
formatting of a drive attached to it. At least that is what Tech Support
tells me. Tech Support also told me I have a defective unit when I used
CompuApps' SwissKnifeV3 to format the 250GB drive as one FAT32 partition. I
just formatted the drive using Western Digital's Life Guard utility with
eight 34.4GB or less partitions and they work flawlessly. So the DNS-120 is
NOT defective. BTW it was a Level 2 tech that said it was defective. I just
sent a message to a Level 3 tech to see what kind of reply I get from him. I
also suggested Dlink provide a partition utility, since Windows XP
comaptibility is touted on the box and to the best of my knowledge, XP does
not format a USB drive of this size as anything but NTFS.
