3.1.2. Option B: Install an Internal Hard
Drive
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The LaCinema Classic Bridge is compat-
ible only with disks formatted in FAT32. If you attempt to install a
disk formatted in NTFS or HFS+, files will not be available when
the drive is connected to the television. Refer to section
5. Refor-
matting the LaCinema Classic Bridge
for formatting information.
The FAT32 file system is compatible with almost all computers but
file size is limited to 4GB and partition size of more than 32GB is
not properly supported. Windows users should use the Formatter
Utility included on the CD-ROM, which will allow them to format
their drive in one large FAT32 partition.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Install only a 3.5” SATA hard disk. Disks
with 5400 RPM are strongly recommended. Check lacie.com for
a list of compatible drives. LaCie cannot guarantee that drives not
on this list will be compatible with the LaCinema Classic Bridge.
