Fellow Techs, Thanks in advance for anyone who offers information.

I'm currently replacing HD's in machines needing returned for lease. I've gotten The exact manufacturer's HD's that are currently in the machines, including the exact part numbers. But, they're not specifically from another Xerox machine, so I need to properly format them so I can install and run SPAR.

Here's what I can tell you. The machines I am replacing the drive in are all machines that "Do Not" have software directly on the HD. In fact, they are: WC5890's, WC5855's and CQ9203's.

What I need to know is "how to properly format" so that the drives will work properly once installed.

I am formatting in ExFAT and I'm not sure whether to use MBR or GPT style Partition style.

Also, is there anything else which I need to do in order to make these drives work?

Onsite now, so any immediate help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
