Mac OS does not 

recognize NTFS 

formatted drives, to 

use your device on 

both platforms, we 

recommend you 

using FAT32. 

 

 

If you use Win2000 

or WinXP and 

FAT32, the biggest 

single partition you 

can create will be 

32GB. To create 

larger partitions, 

you need to use the 

DOS command 

under Win98SE or 

WinME or change 

to NTFS format. 

 

 

 

If you can not see 

the drive, make 

sure the jumper 

settings of your 

hard drive are 

correct, the drivers 

are installed and the 

power is turned on! 

 

 

PC running Win2000 or WinXP

 

Disk Management Program 

  Right click on “My Computer” and choose “Manage” 

  Select “Disk Management” 

  Choose the drive you want to format and right click on it for 

further commands (Choose New Partition) 

  Follow the Partition Wizard
