Got a call out today to a C224e with C-FA14, appears to be dead HDD. Machine boots no problems with HDD disabled and SSD Checks all test OK.
I have a spare HDD that came out of a de-commissioned unit however I want to perform a full disk check using my PC before putting it into the machine.
When checking in Windows through Disk Management the drive shows up as non standard partition and I will have to format the drive before I can check it.
So, my question is:
Can I format this drive as NTFS using standard parameters on my PC, run a disk check to make sure there are no issues with the drive then install it into the copier.
Will the machine recognise the drive in this format and be able to format and encrypt?
